Abstract:
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous multisystem disease of unclear etiology. Among the many local lesions of different localization, lesions of the central and peripheral nervous system (neurosarcoidosis) are distinguished as particularly unfavorable manifestations of the disease. Only in rare cases, neurosarcoidosis can manifest as isolated or primary. Biopsy remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis. However, significant difficulties remain in verifying the diagnosis, especially with an isolated variant of the lesion A rare case of isolated neurosarcoidosis with a primary focus in the right hemisphere of the brain is described. The data of histological, histochemical and immunohistochemical examination of the surgical material are presented.
