Abstract

Purpose of Review: Sjögren Syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disorder that presents mainly with sicca symptoms, but frequently affects other body systems which can lead to a wide variety of manifestations. Understanding the neurological and psychiatric manifestations of Sjögren Syndrome can help with an earlier diagnosis of this disease and leads to better clinical outcomes. Recent Findings: We provide an updated overview of the central neurological manifestations, peripheral neurological manifestations and psychiatric manifestations and their diagnosis when associated with primary Sjögren Syndrome. The epidemiology and clinical features of the neurological and psychiatric manifestations are derived from different cohort studies and review articles that were selected from PubMed searches conducted between January 2024 and March 2024. Summary: The absence of diagnostic criteria and the scarcity of large, robust studies makes the recognition of the neurological and psychiatric manifestations of Sjögren Syndrome more difficult. Maintaining a high index of suspicion in clinical practice and a close collaboration between the Neurologist and the Rheumatologist will facilitate the diagnosis and management of these patients.
