Central nervous symptoms as the prominent manifestation of Sjögren’s disease (SjD): a case report
The onset of SjD may even only manifest as neurological symptoms, which could be easily confused with other systemic or neurological diseases, thus demanding careful differential diagnosis through a detailed medical history and immunological, even pathological examinations to clarify the etiology. Rituximab is an effective treatment option for SjD involving nervous systems, which is an option not commonly featured in standard treatment protocols.
