Initial Cerebral Venous Thrombosis Revealing Extramembranous Glomerulonephritis Secondary to Primary Sjögren's Syndrome: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune exocrinopathy characterized by systemic manifestations, including neurological and renal involvement. We present the case of a 36-year-old female patient in whom cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) revealed primary SS, associated with extramembranous glomerulonephritis (EMGN), a rare manifestation. This article highlights the importance of considering SS as an etiology of CVT and performing systematic renal screening in this context. A review of the literature emphasizes the pathophysiological complexity of extra-glandular manifestations of SS and the necessity for early diagnosis.

Abstract

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune exocrinopathy characterized by systemic manifestations, including neurological and renal involvement. We present the case of a 36-year-old female patient in whom cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) revealed primary SS, associated with extramembranous glomerulonephritis (EMGN), a rare manifestation. This article highlights the importance of considering SS as an etiology of CVT and performing systematic renal screening in this context. A review of the literature emphasizes the pathophysiological complexity of extra-glandular manifestations of SS and the necessity for early diagnosis.
