Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a multisystem autoimmune disease with protean manifestations, occurs with neuropsychiatric manifestations in </=60% of patients. Myelitis is a rare but serious complication of SLE. The diagnosis of myelitis may be difficult, but magnetic resonance imaging is generally very useful in assessing the extension and severity of lupus-related myelitis. We present the case of a 22-year-old woman with SLE since age 18 who presented with bilateral leg paresis of 7 days' duration.
系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）是一种具有多种表现的多系统自身免疫性疾病，60%及以下的患者会出现神经精神症状。脊髓炎是SLE罕见但严重的并发症。脊髓炎的诊断可能困难，但磁共振成像通常对评估狼疮相关脊髓炎的范围和严重程度非常有用。我们报告一例自18岁起患有SLE的22岁女性病例，该患者出现了持续7天的双侧腿部无力症状。
