Routine and quantitative EEG were used to determine whether there is a lateralized pattern of electrophysiologic dysfunction in patients with diverse neuropsychiatric manifestations of SLE. Twenty consecutive patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms of SLE underwent 20-minute EEG recordings with an 18-channel polygraph. Ten 1-second intervals were randomly selected for each patient. Once selected, the intervals were analyzed for the presence of theta and delta slow activity. Mapping was done by four-point interpolation around the 18 acquired data points. On routine EEG, abnormalities were identified in 14/20 patients with SLE. In 12/14 patients, the abnormalities were localized to the left temporal region. Quantitative EEG analyses revealed theta and delta slow activity predominantly affecting the left hemisphere in 16/19 patients with SLE. Taken together, these findings suggest selective involvement of the left hemisphere in patients with diverse neuropsychiatric manifestations of SLE.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008032 Limbic System A set of forebrain structures common to all mammals that is defined functionally and anatomically. It is implicated in the higher integration of visceral, olfactory, and somatic information as well as homeostatic responses including fundamental survival behaviors (feeding, mating, emotion). For most authors, it includes the AMYGDALA; EPITHALAMUS; GYRUS CINGULI; hippocampal formation (see HIPPOCAMPUS); HYPOTHALAMUS; PARAHIPPOCAMPAL GYRUS; SEPTAL NUCLEI; anterior nuclear group of thalamus, and portions of the basal ganglia.

D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
