The case of a 24-year old woman with systemic lupus erythematosis and central nervous system disease manifested by ballistic movements of the left arm is presented. She also had bilateral cerebral infarcts with pseudobulbar palsy. Ballismus is not generally known to be a manifestation of systemic lupus although there have been been reports of chorea in this disease which has responded to treatment with corticosteroids. In the present case, the ballismus disappeared when very large doses of steroids were given. This suggests that massive doses of corticosteroids may be needed for effective treatment of central nervous system lupus.
本文报告了一名24岁患有系统性红斑狼疮且以左臂舞动样运动为表现的中枢神经系统疾病的女性病例。她还患有双侧脑梗死伴假性球麻痹。虽然已有系统性红斑狼疮出现舞蹈症且对皮质类固醇治疗有反应的报道，但舞动样运动一般并不被认为是系统性红斑狼疮的一种表现。在本病例中，给予非常大剂量的类固醇后舞动样运动消失。这表明可能需要大剂量皮质类固醇来有效治疗中枢神经系统狼疮。
