Abstract

Neurosarcoidosis is a rare disorder that can develop in patients with a history of sarcoidosis or can develop even when sarcoidosis is not diagnosed. It is a granulomatous disease of the nervous system that causes different neurological disorders based on its location. However, diagnosing neurosarcoidosis remains a challenge as it mimics many other neurological disorders and does not have any biochemical markers of high specificity. A tissue-proven biopsy is the gold standard but is difficult to obtain in neurological illnesses. Thus, diagnosis is established based on the clinical syndrome and imaging, which mostly show meningeal/parenchymal lesion enhancement, in addition to the exclusion of other causes. Glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) drugs are the mainstays of treatment. We discuss a case of neurosarcoidosis in a 52-year-old woman with a known history of sarcoidosis.
