  • Title: Neurologic manifestations of sarcoidosis.
    Author: Gullapalli D, Phillips LH.
    Journal: Neurol Clin; 2002 Feb; 20(1):59-83, vi. PubMed ID: 11754302.
    Abstract:
    Sarcoidosis is multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Although the nervous system is involved in only 5% to 16% of patients, neurosarcoidosis is one of the more serious manifestations of the disease. Cranial neuropathies are common, but involvement of the mininges or the brain or spinal cord parenchyma causes more severe morbidity. MR imaging of affected portions of the neuraxis is a very sensitive diagnostic technique. Treatment with corticosteroids is the mainstay of therapy.
