Introduction:
Spinal neurosarcoidosis is rare and exceptionally inaugural.
Observation:
A 49-year-old African woman developed a progressive left Brown-Sequard syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the cervical spinal cord revealed an intramedullary lesion from C2 to T1 with intense pial enhancement after administration of contrast material associated with cervical spondylosis. The diagnostic of sarcoidosis was confirmed by liver biopsy which demonstrated noncaseating granulomas.
Conclusions:
MRI features of spinal neurosarcoidosis were reviewed by the authors with focus on differential diagnosis.
