Abstract:
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic granulomatous disease of unknown origin that often affects the lungs, eyes, and lymphatic system. Neurological manifestations are rare (5-6%). A case is reported of neurosarcoidosis that presented with anterior uveitis, lymph node enlargement, lymphocytic meningitis, cochleovestibular disease, and right peripheral facial nerve paralysis. Current diagnostic and therapeutic methods in this hard-to-diagnose entity are discussed.
