Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect any organ or system, including the central nervous system (CNS). Cerebrovascular disease is included in its spectrum of manifestations, notable for its morbidity and mortality and associated disability. However, this presentation is very rare as an initial manifestation of SLE, particularly subdural haematoma. We present the case of a 57-year-old male patient who was admitted to a primary care centre with headache accompanied by alarm signs, documenting staggered subdural collections in the right frontal region together with a pontine intraparenchymal hemorrhage on the same side, in the context of severe pancytopenia. In the course of its evolution and complementary tests in the search for the etiology of pancytopenia, after excluding the most common causes, an autoimmune origin was concluded in the context of SLE with atypical clinical presentation.

Resumen

El lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) es una enfermedad autoinmune crónica que puede comprometer cualquier órgano o sistema, incluido el sistema nervioso central (SNC). Dentro del espectro de sus manifestaciones se incluye la enfermedad cerebrovascular, en la cual destacan su morbimortalidad y su discapacidad asociada. A pesar de ello, esta presentación es muy rara como manifestación inicial del LES, en particular el hematoma subdural. A continuación, se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 57 años que ingresó a un centro de atención primaria con cefalea acompañada de signos de alarma, se documentaron colecciones subdurales escalonadas en la región frontal derecha, junto con una hemorragia intraparenquimatosa póntica del mismo lado, en el contexto de pancitopenia severa. En el trascurso de su evolución y con los exámenes complementarios en la búsqueda de la etiología de la pancitopenia, se concluyó, después de excluir las causas más comunes, un origen autoinmune en el contexto de un LES con presentación clínica atípica.
