Diagnosis and management of neurosarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disorder characterised by the presence of multiple noncaseating granulomas. Clinically recognisable nervous system involvement occurs in 5-16% of patients with sarcoidosis. However, the incidence of subclinical neurosarcoidosis may be higher. The following article presents a review of the disease, including its pathophysiology, clinical and radiological characteristics and treatment. Neurosarcoidosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of infectious and noninfectious neurological syndromes.
