Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology first named and described in the 19th century. The diagnosis usually requires the finding of noncaseating epithelioid cell granulomas in more than one organ and exclusion of other disorders known to cause granulomatous disease. The incidence of nervous system involvement in sarcoidosis is about 5%. Sarcoidosis may involve any part of the nervous system. Corticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment of neurosarcoidosis.
结节病是一种病因不明的多系统肉芽肿性疾病,于19世纪首次被命名和描述。诊断通常需要在不止一个器官中发现非干酪样上皮样细胞肉芽肿,并排除已知可引起肉芽肿性疾病的其他病症。结节病累及神经系统的发生率约为5%。结节病可累及神经系统的任何部位。皮质类固醇仍然是神经结节病治疗的主要手段。
