    Central nervous system (CNS) sarcoidosis presents with neurological symptoms and can mimic multiple sclerosis. Two-thirds of patients experienced favorable outcomes, highlighting the importance of considering CNS sarcoidosis in neurological diagnoses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Immunology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology.
    • Central nervous system (CNS) involvement occurs in a minority of sarcoidosis cases.
    • CNS sarcoidosis presents a diagnostic challenge due to diverse clinical manifestations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the presenting features, clinical course, and outcomes of patients with CNS sarcoidosis.
    • To evaluate the long-term prognosis of CNS sarcoidosis.
    • To emphasize the differential diagnosis between CNS sarcoidosis and other neurological conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Review of clinical data for 19 patients diagnosed with CNS sarcoidosis.

  • Longitudinal follow-up of patient outcomes over 1 to 16 years.

    • Main Results:

    • Neurological symptoms were the initial presentation in two-thirds of patients.
    • Disease courses varied, with half experiencing acute monophasic illness and half chronic progressive or relapsing disease.
    • Two-thirds of patients achieved a favorable outcome during the study period.
    • Four patients' disease courses mimicked multiple sclerosis.

    Conclusions:

    • CNS sarcoidosis can present with diverse neurological features and variable clinical courses.
    • A significant proportion of patients with CNS sarcoidosis experience favorable long-term outcomes.
    • Considering CNS sarcoidosis in the differential diagnosis of suspected demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
