Myelopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus: clinical, laboratory, radiological and progression findings in a cohort of 1193 patients

Conclusions Myelopathy occurred in 14 (1.2%) of the patients in our cohort and this may be the first manifestation of the disease occurring independently of systemic disease activity. Although rare, myelopathy shows great morbidity and mortality, can be recurrent and MRI is critical for diagnosis.
