Article Abstract
Sarcoidosis is associated with diverse neurological manifestations and neuroimaging findings. The diagnosis of isolated CNS sarcoidosis requires a biopsy to document the presence of sterile NCG and to exclude neoplasms and other granulomatous diseases. When a biopsy of the CNS is not possible, a diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis can reasonably be supported in many patients by MRI findings and exclusion of other disorders. RELEVANCE: Optimum management of patients with neurosarcoidosis relies on the ability of clinicians to recognize the broad spectrum of clinical and neuroimaging manifestations of the disorder.
