  • Title: Sarcoidosis of the eye, orbit, and central nervous system. Role of MR imaging.
    Author: Mafee MF, Dorodi S, Pai E.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 1999 Jan; 37(1):73-87, x. PubMed ID: 10026730.
    Abstract:
    Sarcoidosis, a systemic disease of unknown cause, frequently involves the eye, orbit, and central nervous system. The MR imaging findings of orbital and optic pathway sarcoidosis may closely resemble several other orbital and intracranial diseases. This article reviews MR imaging findings of sarcoidosis when it involves the eye, orbit, and visual pathways. Careful review of MR findings and other neuroimaging findings and clinical characteristics will reduce the incidence of mistaking optic nerve and chiasmal sarcoidosis for meningioma or glioma.
