the newly adopted nomenclature system recognizes 19 neuropsychiatric syndromes that can be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. These range from diffuse CNS disorders (acute confusional state or delirium, psychosis, anxiety and depressive disorders, and clinical or subclinical cognitive abnormalities of variable functional significance), to focal CNS syndromes (seizures, cerebrovascular disease, chorea and myelopathy), and peripheral nervous system disorders (polyneuropathy, mononeuropathy, plexopathy, acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, and autonomic disorder). It is worth noting that the term “lupus cerebritis” does not appear among these 19 NPSLE syndromes.
