Summary

Sarcoidosis can affect the peripheral nervous system (PNS), rarely causing chronic polyradiculoneuritis. This case highlights successful treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Systemic Inflammatory Diseases

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis frequently involves the peripheral nervous system (PNS), with axonal polyneuropathies being common.
  • Acute or chronic polyradiculoneuritis are rare manifestations of PNS involvement in sarcoidosis.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old woman presented with progressive sensorimotor deficits in her lower limbs.
  • Ocular redness, indicative of uveitis, was also noted.
  • Neurological examination and electrophysiological findings confirmed chronic polyradiculoneuritis.

Findings:

  • The patient's neurological status significantly improved after six months of treatment.
  • Treatment involved oral corticotherapy combined with immunosuppressive therapy.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of chronic polyradiculoneuritis.
  • Successful management highlights the efficacy of combined immunosuppressive and corticosteroid therapy for sarcoid-related polyradiculoneuritis.
  • Further research into rare PNS manifestations of sarcoidosis is warranted.
