Intravenous Methylprednisolone Pulse

A case of cerebral systemic lupus erythematosus is presented. This was characterised by a combination of organic, persecutory and atypical hypomanic features. After a very stormy course on oral steroids, treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy was begun. Subsequently the patient experienced a prolonged remission. This outcome supports the value of such therapy in cerebral systemic lupus erythematosus.
