This study reports a rare case of stroke in a young man with sarcoidosis. Neurosarcoidosis can cause cerebral vasculitis, leading to ischemic events like transient ischemic attacks and hemiparesis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease.
  • Neurosarcoidosis involves the nervous system, with cerebral vasculitis being a known complication.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old man with sarcoidosis experienced transient ischemic attacks and persistent right hemiparesis.
  • Imaging revealed an infarct in the left internal capsule.
  • Diagnostic tests confirmed sarcoidosis with elevated angiotensin-converting enzyme and a positive Kveim test.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with neurological deficits indicative of a stroke.
  • Cerebral vasculitis secondary to neurosarcoidosis was confirmed as the underlying cause.
  • This case highlights an extremely rare manifestation of neurosarcoidosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering neurosarcoidosis in young patients presenting with stroke.
  • Early diagnosis and management of neurosarcoidosis may help prevent severe neurological complications.
  • Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and incidence of stroke in neurosarcoidosis.
