Abstract
Purpose:
To illustrate the spectrum of sarcoidosis involving the eye and brain and the difficulties of confirming its clinical diagnosis.
Methods:
The presentation of two unusual case reports of patients with ocular and cerebral involvement with sarcoidosis.
Results:
Tissue biopsy, an essential component in the differential diagnosis, was required to confirm the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in each patient.
Conclusions:
Sarcoidosis remains an enigmatic disease with protean manifestations and widely differing outcomes.
