Cerebral infarction caused by systemic sclerosis: a case report
Systemic sclerosis, also known as scleroderma, is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by vascular lesions caused by collagen deposition in the skin and viscera and damage to the endothelium. Endothelial injury and microvascular occlusion result in Raynaud’s phenomenon, finger ischemi...

description | Systemic sclerosis, also known as scleroderma, is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by vascular lesions caused by collagen deposition in the skin and viscera and damage to the endothelium. Endothelial injury and microvascular occlusion result in Raynaud’s phenomenon, finger ischemia, pulmonary hypertension, and scleroderma renal crisis. Scleroderma itself is a rare disease with an incidence ranging from 0.1 to 14 per 100,000 people in the general population. Cerebral involvement is not considered a common manifestation of systemic sclerosis, although studies have shown that the brain can be involved. Therefore, to deepen the understanding of this disease, we herein report a case of cerebral infarction associated with systemic sclerosis. |
