Multiple sclerosis (MS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), Sjogren's syndrome (SS) and Behcet disease (BD) are chronic, immune-mediated disorders affecting young adults, the pathogenesis of which is still largely unknown. MS and other demyelinating processes are sometimes difficult to differentiate from the CNS involvement in systemic rheumatic diseases (SRD). An acute isolated neurological syndrome presents the greatest diagnostic problem, since it is common not only in MS, but can also be the only feature or first manifestation in SLE, APS, SS, and BD.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is very similar to the Sjögren's syndrome (SS) by its clinical presentations. Features found in common between the two disorders include symptoms of lesions of the brain, spinal cord and optic tract, the detection of autoantibodies, such as antinuclear, anti-Ro, anti-La and the prevalence of MRI abnormalities such as periventricular and subcortical lesions. Almost all symptoms found in patients with the CNS-SS involvement described above could be attributed to the concomitant presence of MS.
