Abstract

Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterized by dry mouth and neutropenia. Although it does not commonly involve the central nervous system, Sjogren's syndrome sometimes affects small vessels through microangiopathic alterations. A 34-year-old woman was hospitalized for left upper quadrantanopia and a tingling sensation in the left hemibody. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute infarction in the right posterior cerebral artery territory. In laboratory tests, antinuclear (FANA2+) and anti-DNA antibodies (anti-SS-A (Ro)) were detected. Salivary gland scintigraphy revealed moderately decreasedexcretion of saliva. Based on these findings, we concluded she had Sjogren's syndrome. As in this patient, large vessel involvement in Sjogren's syndrome is far less common. Furthermore, it is difficult to administer antiplatelet drugsto patients with thrombocytopenia in Sjogren's syndrome. This is a case of the patient with Sjogren's syndrome that involved thrombocytopenia and large vessel invasion who was treated with antiplatelet drugs and hydroxychloroquine.

쇼그렌 증후군은 입안 건조와 호중성백혈구 감소증을 주로 보이는 자가면역질환이다. 일반적으로 쇼그렌 증후군은 중추신경계를 잘 침범하지 않는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 드물게, 쇼그렌 증후군에서 미세혈관병성 변성이 생기고, 이로 인해 소혈관에 영향을 미치기도 한다. 34세의 여자 환자가 왼쪽 위사분맹 및 왼쪽 팔다리의 저린 증상이 있어 내원하였다. 뇌자기공명영상에서 오른쪽 후대뇌동맥 영역의 급성 뇌경색 소견이 확인되었다. 혈액학적 검사는 항핵항체 (FANA2+) 및 항DNA항체 (anti-SS-A (RO)) 양성이었다. 그리고 침샘 섬광조영술에서 타액 분비양이 현저히 저하되었다. 따라서 환자는 쇼그렌 증후군으로 진단할 수 있었다. 본 환자의 경우처럼 쇼그렌 증후군에서 대혈관을 침범하는 것은 매우 드문 일이다. 또한 쇼그렌 증후군 환자가 저혈소판증을 보였을 경우, 항혈소판 제재를 쓰는 것이 어려울 수 있다. 이 연구는 대혈관 침범 및 저혈소판증을 보인 쇼그렌 증후군 환자에서 항혈소판 제재 및 하이드록시클로로퀸을 통한 성공적인 치료와, 이와 관련된 임상 양상 및 병태생리를 보고한 사례연구이다.
