[Spinal cord compression of sarcoidosis origin: a case]

Area of Science:

• Neurology
• Immunology
• Oncology

Background:

• Spinal tumors can cause rapid neurological deficits.
• Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease that can affect the central nervous system.

Observation:

• A young male presented with acute onset paraparesis.
• Spinal imaging revealed a tumor.
• Diagnosis of sarcoidosis prompted suspicion of spinal granuloma.

Findings:

• Corticosteroid pulse therapy was initiated.
• The patient experienced dramatic improvement in both clinical symptoms and radiological findings.

Implications:

• This case highlights spinal sarcoid granuloma as a treatable cause of acute paraparesis.
• Early diagnosis and targeted immunosuppressive therapy can lead to favorable outcomes in spinal sarcoidosis.
