Article Abstract
A 25-year-old black man with sarcoidosis presented with transient ischemic attacks followed by sudden,persistent right hemiparesis.He gave a history of recent,recurrent lower motor neuron facial palsy.Computed tomography demonstrated an infarct in the left internal capsule.Chest x-ray film showed bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy and multiple opacities in the lung fields.Serum angiotensin converting enzyme concentration was raised,and a Kveim test was positive for sarcoidosis. Despite clear pathologic reports of cerebral vasculitis in neurosarcoidosis,the occurrence of stroke is extremely rare.
