Abstract
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) may have different neurological manifestations. Mononerits multiplex is the most common type of peripheral nervous system involvement in adult population, but case reports in pediatric population are sparse. We are reporting a case of pediatric SLE, presenting with polyarthritis and subsequently developing mononeuritis multiplex, identified by NCV.
