Sjogren's Syndrome Presenting as Ischemic Stroke
Stroke 25:2276-2279, Bragoni,M.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The medical history included recurrent miscarriages and sun rashes,which directed the diagnosis toward immunologic disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome,which are often associated with stroke.Only complete laboratory testing,including SSB antibody studies,and ophthalmologic and salivary gland evaluation revealed the correct diagnosis.Sjogren's syndrome should be considered among causes of stroke,especially in a young female patient.
