Systemic Lupus Erythematous, autoimmune character, is a inflammative disease holding many systems. The disease can sometimes follow insidiously with symptoms of fever, asthenia and prostration for years. Central nervous system is common. It is the clinical variable and may be very mild or very severe. In most patients, the age of onset is between 16-55 years old and is found in cases diagnosed in advanced age. Here, it is presented an elderly patient developed dizziness and right side prostration when she was 80 and diagnosed lupus when she was 85. We thought as worth for presenting because of that both the patient is elder and that the lesions have similar features with demyelinating plaques. The lupus should not be forgotten in the central nervous system involvement in advanced age cases and separator diagnosis.
