Her SLE-presenting symptoms were malar rash, photosensitivity, arthralgia, and anemia. During the anesthesia consultation, she was also noted to have a history of hypertension and seizure disorder. Three years prior to this visit, she had a frontal lobe ischemic infarct resulting in left-sided hemiparesis which had fully resolved.
