Case Report: A Chinese woman with primary Sjögren’s syndrome presented with simultaneous involvement of the cerebral and coronary arteries as initial symptoms

This case represents an exceptionally rare documented instance of pSS simultaneously affecting both cerebral and coronary arterial systems. It underscores that severe multifocal arterial stenosis can present as the initial manifestation of this disease, even in the absence of prominent dryness symptoms. This highlights the necessity for vascular assessment in pSS patients and the urgency of conducting autoimmune evaluations in cases of unexplained multivessel arteriopathy.

Abstract

This case represents an exceptionally rare documented instance of pSS simultaneously affecting both cerebral and coronary arterial systems. It underscores that severe multifocal arterial stenosis can present as the initial manifestation of this disease, even in the absence of prominent dryness symptoms. This highlights the necessity for vascular assessment in pSS patients and the urgency of conducting autoimmune evaluations in cases of unexplained multivessel arteriopathy.
