Rash, arthritis, alopecia, leukopenia, and hypocomplementemia were the most prevalent extra-central nervous system characteristics observed in these patients. Belimumab treatment yielded complete remission in three (50%) of six patients, accompanied by decreased prednisone use, along with improvements in two cases, but one patient unfortunately experienced a relapse necessitating uterine surgery. A marked reduction in disease activity, as quantified by the SLEDAI score (215-55), was seen 35 months following belimumab treatment, with statistical significance compared to baseline (P < .001). Simultaneously with the rise in C3 and C4 levels, extra-central nervous system symptoms showed a substantial and swift improvement. The expression of the PBX1 gene, a marker for lupus susceptibility, was found to be at its lowest levels in CD19+ B cells of lupus patients with demyelinating syndromes, relative to both healthy individuals and lupus patients without this syndrome. Conversely, this relative expression inversely correlated with the activity of SLE disease. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus demyelination could potentially find effective and safe treatment in Belimumab. Consequently, PBX1 has the potential to function as a biomarker for the diagnosis of lupus in individuals with demyelinating syndrome. Belimumab's potential as a safe and effective treatment for SLE-associated demyelination deserves consideration. The presence of PBX1 could potentially signify a biomarker for the diagnosis of lupus in those experiencing demyelinating syndrome. The sustained local myalgia, a rare form of noninfectious myositis, particularly affecting the masticatory muscles, is explained by a centrally mediated neurogenic mechanism. Due to the uncommon occurrence and limited data available, precise diagnosis of this temporal muscle (TM) pathology is difficult. Two rare instances of NIM in the temporal membrane (TM) were described in terms of their clinical signs, diagnostic procedures, and treatment effectiveness. In the patients, the signs and symptoms exhibited were not distinctive enough to definitively diagnose a pathology; they were not pathognomonic. Openings of the mouth and side-to-side jaw movement were limited by certain regulations. It is possible that the symptoms will not last a chronic duration. Clinical evaluation findings might suggest a diagnosis of anterior disc displacement (ADD) without reduction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and/or localized myalgia. The involved muscle's swelling, a characteristic of myositis, can be easily detected and identified via palpation, especially at the affected site. The axial T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) scan was instrumental in achieving an accurate diagnosis for this rare medical condition. Sustained application of non-surgical, conservative therapies, including the administration of sufficient doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, control of parafunctional oral habits, and jaw exercises, proved beneficial in addressing internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A thorough clinical evaluation and MR imaging, encompassing the axial T2-weighted view, are fundamental for the accurate diagnosis and efficient management of NIM of the TM. A thorough clinical examination coupled with MR imaging, specifically including the axial T2-weighted view, is crucial for correctly diagnosing and effectively managing NIM of the TM. A bony obstruction, the ossified pterygoalar ligament, situated inferolateral to the exocranial foramen ovale, is conventionally perceived as a barrier to percutaneous needle access via the Hartel technique. We describe two cases in which a needle successfully traversed the pterygoalar bar, achieving access to the foramen ovale. Misunderstanding of this presentation could potentially alter the surgeon's chosen surgical tactics. A space-occupying lesion in the left cerebellopontine angle was res
