Neural Regulation

Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Pathology

Background:

Neurosarcoidosis presents with diverse neurological symptoms, including cranial nerve palsies, headaches, and seizures.
Diagnosis can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions.
Sarcoidosis is histologically defined by noncaseating granulomas in various nervous system parts.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the pathological features of neurosarcoidosis.
To highlight diagnostic challenges and the importance of pathological confirmation.
To discuss current and emerging treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

Review of literature on neurosarcoidosis pathology and clinical presentation.
Emphasis on histopathological findings: noncaseating granulomas, epithelioid histiocytes, multinucleated giant cells.
Discussion of differential diagnoses, particularly infectious diseases like tuberculosis and mycosis.

Main Results:

Neurosarcoidosis affects the dura, leptomeninges, brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
Characteristic microscopic findings include epithelioid histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells.
Pathological diagnosis of brain lesions is the gold standard.

Conclusions:

Definitive diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis relies on pathological examination of affected tissues.
Exclusion of infectious mimics is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Treatment involves corticosteroids and potentially TNF-α inhibitors like infliximab.
