  • Title: [Cerebrospinal sarcoidosis (with reference to 2 personal cases)].
    Author: Lahl R, Nisch G.
    Journal: Schweiz Arch Neurol Neurochir Psychiatr; 1977; 120(2):339-53. PubMed ID: 905797.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of leptomeningo-cerebro(-spinal) sarcoidosis which were not clinically diagnosed in two women (22 and 33 years old) are described. The two women died because of this disease, 8 months, and 1 1/2 years, resp., after the first manifestation. In the first case there was a largely isolated local affection of the hypothalamus and neurohypophysis. In the second observation, beside an involvement of the bifurcate lymph nodes and of the lungs, it was only the central nervous system that showed massive diffuse changes partially due to a granulomatous angiitis of cerebral and visceral vessels. On the basis of pathohistology, the differential diagnosis to the histiocytosis X for case 1 and to the granulomatous giant cell angiitis for case 2 are discussed.
