Abstract:
Two female patients, aged 46 and 51, were referred to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery with symptoms resembling normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and with ventriculomegaly on the MRI. Both had a definite diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis (NS) on biopsy, and they underwent the medical and surgical management reserved for NPH. At follow-up, their presenting symptoms had resolved and they had clinically improved. Neurosarcoidosis can mimic NPH, and it should be excluded in patients presenting with NPH.
