Abstract:
Sweet's syndrome (SS) is a rare disease characterized by fever, elevated neutrophil count and skin erythema. When the central nervous system is involved, it is called neuro-Sweet disease (NSD). The clinical manifestations of NSD are highly heterogeneous. Encephalitis or meningitis are the most common neurological manifestations. There can be no specific changes or abnormal signal changes in the focus in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Circular enhancement of the focus can be seen on enhanced scanning. The disease is sensitive to hormone therapy, but it is easy to relapse in the process of hormone reduction. In order to improve clinicians' understanding of this rare disease, our study systematically reviews the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatments and prognoses of NSD.
