When rheumatoid arthritis is combined with Sjögren’s syndrome, it suggests increased disease activity level and a poor prognosis. Some patients with rheumatoid arthritis associated with Sjögren’s syndrome may be misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed due to failure to identify the occurrence of Sjögren’s syndrome early on, resulting in only receiving therapeutic measures for rheumatoid arthritis. In the article, a female was admitted to the hospital with the complaints of “intermittent dizziness for 2 years, weakness and clumsiness of the limbs for 1 year, and numbness of the right upper limb for 3 days”, which was diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome combined with rheumatoid arthritis secondary to antiphospholipid antibody syndrome resulting in neurological damage, which included the involvement of the peripheral nervous system, central nervous system and autonomic neuropathy. At present, few cases of rheumatoid arthritis associated with Sjögren’s syndrome and secondary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome with multiple neurological damage have been reported, and the purpose of this case is to emphasize the necessity of regular screening for antibodies related to Sjögren’s syndrome and antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, so as to promptly identify and prevent the occurrence of serious complications.展开更多
