Neurologic Manifestations of Rheumatic Diseases
As Sarah Goglin and John Imboden point out, neurologic manifestations of rheumatic diseases often represent sources of confusion and quandary resulting in delay of diagnosis and institution of management. The purpose of this issue is to clarify as much as possible the latest advances in our understanding of these challenges and to place them in a format that is user-friendly for the rheumatologist. Sarah and John have done a truly remarkable job here. All our inflammatory rheumatic diseases have neurologic manifestations, and from a historical perspective, these manifestations may have dominated the clinical picture in years past (such as in rheumatoid arthritis and lupus) but are seen less commonly today.
