AB Central nervous system symptoms in patients with primary Sjogren’s syndrome are rare. They can present as extraglandular manifestations and require a differential diagnosis from multiple sclerosis. Due to a variety of presentations, Sjogren’s syndrome with neurologic involvement may be difficult to diagnose. Here, we report a case of a 75-year-old woman who was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2010, but who was subsequently diagnosed with primary Sjogren’s syndrome 2 years later after showing signs of atypical neurologic manifestations. Therefore, primary Sjogren’s syndrome should be suspected in patients who present with atypical clinical and radiologic neurologic manifestations.
