We describe a patient with scleroderma en coup de sabre and central nervous system symptoms. She presented with a linear scleroderma on her left paramedian forehead and scalp and suffered from headaches and dizziness. Axial T2‐weighted MRI showed a 1 cm, high intense signal abnormality in the medial aspect of the left frontal lobe.
