Unmasking Migraines: Could It Be Sjögren's Syndrome?

Research Summary

A recent case report published in Dtsch Med Wochenschr highlights the challenge of diagnosing Primary Sjögren's Syndrome when it initially presents with atypical neurological symptoms like migraines. A 34-year-old woman experienced recurrent headaches, dizziness, and mild aphasia, initially diagnosed as migraine without aura. Over time, she developed dry mouth, dry eyes, and joint pain, leading to further testing. Despite unremarkable cranial imaging, autoimmune serology confirmed the diagnosis, and treatment with prednisolone and hydroxychloroquine significantly improved her symptoms. This case underscores the importance of early serological testing and interdisciplinary evaluation for atypical symptoms in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome.
