seizures in patient with SLE could be caused by inflammation of blood vessels of brain called lupus vasculitis or brain infection as a result of reduced resistance due to disease or its immunosuppressive treatment.
CSF examination, CT or MRI brain and some blood tests for disease activity of SLE will settle this issue and decide further treatment.
if these tests are done then the team of yourdoctors should be able to tell you about possible outcomes.
