The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH)
associated with neuropsychiatric lupus (NP-SLE) is rare. We report a case
of SIADH associated with the new onset of SLE in an 88-yr-old female. The
unique features of this case include the extreme age of onset of SLE
presenting with neuropsychiatric manifestations and positive antiribosomal
P antibody titres. Both the NP manifestations of SLE and SIADH were highly
correlated with the SLE disease activity. This case illustrates a novel
presentation of NP-SLE with SIADH which may develop due to
antibody-mediated hypothalamic dysfunction.
