Zusammenfassung:Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of exocrine glands with autoimmune etiology. Neurological symptoms occur in approximately 20% of patients with Sjögren’s syndrome.  Neurological symptoms may occur before the onset of sicca symptoms such as; dry eyes and dry mouth. The prevalence of peripheral and central neurological manifestations in  Sjögren syndrome are about 15% and 5% respectively. CNS involvement is much less common than peripheral nervous system involvement. In this case, our patient presented symptoms of transverse myelitis; however, the serum Anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB antibodies were negative and there were no dry eyes and dry mouth. Sjögren sendromu (SS) egzokrin bezlerin kronik, inflamatuar ve otoimmün hastalığıdır. SS' da hastaların %20' sinde nörolojik bulgular gelişir. Nörolojik bulgular göz ve ağız kuruluğu gibi sicca semptomları ortaya çıkmadan önce de görülebilir. Periferik sinir sistemi tutulumu (PSS) %15, santral sinir sistemi (SSS) tutulumu %5 oranında görülür. SSS tutulumu, PSS tutulumuna göre çok daha az görülür. Bu vakada, transvers myelit ile prezente olan, serum anti Ro-SSA/anti La-SSB antikorları negatif olan ve sicca bulguları olmayan bir sjögren sendromu ele alınmıştır.
