A rare case of neurosarcoidosis presenting with psychomotor seizure is reported. A 35-year-old woman was admitted to our ward for further evaluation of syncopal attacks and suspected sarcoidosis. The patient had a history of syncopal attacks for about 15 years prior to admission; however, the
A 46-year old patient is reported presenting with somatosensory focal seizures of either arm as the only manifestation of an otherwise clinically inapparent sarcoidosis. MRI showed signs of a granulomatous leptomeningeal affection. Histological examination of a meningeal biopsy proved the diagnosis
The nervous system is affected in 10% of patients with sarcoidosis. However, neurological disturbances are rarely the first manifestation of the disease. We report a 36-year-old woman presenting with partial seizures that generalized secondarily. Magnetic resonance showed a left parietal
Intracranial sarcoidosis is rare. Usually it involves the cranial nerves and presents with symptoms of meningeal irritation, convulsive seizures, hydrocephalus, hemiparesis, mental changes and hypothalamic dysfunction. A case in which the condition simulated a subdural hematoma is reported.
Sarcoidosis is a multi-system disease of unknown etiology with abnormal immune response. Neurosarcoidosis affects 3 to 5% of all patients with sarcoidosis. A case of the patient with neurosarcoidosis, has been presented in this article. He has had leptomeningeal involvement and white matter lesions
A 45-year-old woman with pulmonary sarcoidosis diagnosed 5 years previously, who was on treatment with prednisone and methotrexate for 1year, developed partial seizure with secondary generalization. MRI showed three non-cavitary enhancing lesions in the cerebello-occipital region. These lesions were
A 28 year-old man complaining of intermittent headaches for a month following an episode of general convulsions was admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery of our hospital. His brain CT scan showed a well-enhanced mass growing symmetrically along the anterior cerebral falx in a manner compatible
OBJECTIVE
Current knowledge on central nervous system sarcoidosis.
BACKGROUND
Sarcoidosis is localized in the central nervous system in 5 to 16% of the cases. Various neurological manifestations are observed, including: seizures, cognitive or psychic manifestations, hypothalamic and pituitary
Sarcoidosis presents only infrequently with stroke or focal neurological deficit and recurrent focal neurological deficit is rarer still. This case report describes a patients presenting with episodic non-fluent dysphasia of abrupt onset occurring during a period of 18 months without evidence of
Although sarcoidosis is rarely confined to the nervous system, any neurological features that do occur frequently happen early in the course of the disease. The most common neurological presentation is with cranial neuropathies, but seizures, chronic meningitis and the effects of mass lesions are
BACKGROUND
Cerebral vasculitis is a serious, but uncommon inflammatory condition of the blood vessel walls, with an annual incidence of 1-2 per million. A variety of disorders including encephalopathy, stroke, seizure, acute or subacute focal deficits should be considered as a differential
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment modalities of three cases with neurosarcoidosis, which involved the central nervous system (CNS).
METHODS
Three men with neurosarcoidosis, aged 27, 29 and 60 years, are presented. Two of them had
BACKGROUND
Neurosarcoidosis is an uncommon but severe, sometimes life threatening, manifestation of sarcoidosis. Signs of neurological involvement usually are seen in patients known to have active disease. Strictly neurological forms are seen in less than 10% of cases.
UNASSIGNED
Neuropsychic
Seizures are a recognized manifestation of neurosarcoidosis, but their clinical relevance is not well established. We reviewed the characteristics, clinical correlations, and prognosis of seizures in 79 patients with neurosarcoidosis. Thirteen (15%) of the 79 patients had seizures, and in eight
