1. To review basic background about neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) 2. To review typical and atypical imaging appearance of NPSLE at routine and advanced MR and CT imaging 3. To discuss impact on imaging findings upon patient prognosis, disease activity and response to therapy  

1-Basic background about NPSLE 2-Methods of examination included routine and advanced MR imaging 3-White matter ischemic changes 4-Imaging appearance of post reversible encephalopathy syndrome in NPSLE 5-Different imaging pattern of Hemorrhagic lesions in NPSLE 6-Imaging of deep venous sinus thrombosis in NPSLE 7-Imaging of rhombencephalitis and Lupoid sclerosis 8-Imaging of intra and extracranial vasculopathy 9-imaging findings suggestive of antiphospholipid syndrome in SLE 10-Imaging findings suggestive of associated atypical infection and lymphoma 11-MR imaging suggestive of NPSLE in children 12-Diffusion MR imaging findings in NPSLE 13-Metabolic changes at MRS in patients with NPSLE 14-Impact of imaging findings upon patient management 15-Imaging biomarkers denoting disease activity and detect changes in normal appearing white matter. 16-Imaging features helps to differentiate NPSLE of from simulating lesions 17-Conclusion and future directions
