The EULAR-Sjögren Syndrome Task Force Group therapeutic algorithm for central nervous system involvement is based on the type of neurologic manifestation. The authors suggested that corticosteroids plus cyclophosphamide could be the first- and second-line therapeutic approach in patients with CNS vasculitis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder but that corticosteroids should be rapidly tapered with the aim of decreasing the risk of severe infection. Rituximab or/plus plasma exchanges may also be recommended for the treatment of this manifestation, especially in patients with severe or refractory disease, but its use is currently limited by the lack of US Food and Drug Administration or European Medicines Agency approval for these indications. When lymphocytic meningitis does not respond to symptomatic treatment, the same therapeutic algorithm should be followed. (Ramos-Casals M, Brito-Zerón P, Bombardieri S, et al.
