Description
Saravana Sukriya and six co-authors presented four cases in a 2026 series on how Sjögren's syndrome attacks the nervous system. The autoimmune disease is known for dry eyes and dry mouth, as immune cells invade tear and saliva glands. Its reach extends well beyond dryness, and the nervous system is a frequent target. The series reviews the range of nerve presentations alongside the cases.
One patient, a middle-aged woman, arrived with seizures, then weakness and slurred speech on one side, then steady mental decline. She also had repeated bouts of full-body weakness that eased with potassium, and blood tests showed low potassium with acid buildup. Brain scans showed old strokes in two regions. The cases stress testing for the syndrome when nerve symptoms mix with gland and chemistry clues.
