摘要
Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disorder, and neurological involvement may frequently occur. Here we describe a 79-year-old woman who came to our attention for a sudden right incomplete 3rd cranial nerve palsy. Following extensive investigations, a diagnosis of primary SS was reached, and the patient recovered after treatment with ev Ig and steroids. Therefore, we suggest that SS should be considered in apparently idiopathic 3rd cranial nerve palsies, since, with the appropriate treatment, they might be transient and reversible.
