Neurosarcoidosis - A diagnostic challenge?

Background: Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory granulomatous multisystem disease with an unknown etiology. Neurosarcoidosis is a cryptogenic neuroinflammatory manifestation of sarcoidosis. Objective: This article aims at better understanding of one of the rarer diseases whose diagnosis may be difficult leading to delay in definitive management of the patient. Method: We describe a case of neurosarcoidosis with initial presentation similar to acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis, whose diagnosis was challenging and delayed owing to the presenting symptoms. Conclusion: The diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis becomes challenging when it presents as isolated clinical neurological symptoms. We want to highlight the variable nature of neurosarcoidosis and its consideration as diagnosis after excluding other common infectious and inflammatory conditions.
