We report a case of a woman with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus who developed persistent ataxia and was diagnosis with lupus cerebellitis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed T2/FLAIR signal hyperintensity within the cerebellar vermis without mass effect. The patient's condition improved with pulse IV methylprednisolone. This case highlights unique imaging findings within the cerebellum, our diagnostic and treatment regimen, and compares this case to previous literature on similar cases.
