Abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disorder diagnosed based on multiple clinical and serological criteria. According to the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC), patients with SLE may have neuropsychiatric manifestations (NPSLE) that may indicate a severe form of the disease. These manifestations are often associated with high morbidity and mortality with a widely variable prevalence according to different series and are estimated to occur at ages between 37 and 95%. In this paper, we present a rare and severe form of SLE in an adolescent female. She was presented with neurological symptoms in the form of seizures and had good outcomes after being treated according to the guidelines
