Abstract

The present case is about a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus, with an episode of ischemic stroke manifested with dysarthria and debility on the right arm and leg. In angiotomography, we observe vasculitis' suggestive images. She gets treatment with three bolus of methylprednisolone, with good clinical response, only remaining paresthesias in the right arm and leg.
