    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Immunology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology.
    • Spinal cord involvement in sarcoidosis is rare, presenting diagnostic challenges.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for neurological outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms suggestive of spinal cord pathology.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed through biopsy of an enlarged hilar lymph node, revealing non-caseating granulomas characteristic of sarcoidosis.
    • The patient exhibited signs of spinal cord inflammation.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination of the hilar lymph node biopsy confirmed sarcoidosis.
    • The patient responded favorably to treatment with corticosteroid medications.
    • Review of existing literature indicates potential harm from surgical intervention in spinal cord sarcoidosis.

    Implications:

    • Corticosteroid therapy is an effective treatment for spinal cord sarcoidosis.
    • Surgical intervention should be approached with caution due to potential adverse effects.
    • This case contributes to the understanding of rare neurological manifestations of sarcoidosis.
