[Meningitis in generalized sarcoidosis (author's transl)].

Case report on a severe meningitis in a 15 years old patient, who showed at first the clinical signs of a tuberculosis meningitis. Anamnesis, further clinical observation and investigation after subsiding of the meningitis gave convincing arguments for a generalized sarcoidosis. Preexisting diencephalic disturbances favoured the diagnosis of a meningo-encephalic type of sarcoidosis. Problems of diagnosis and therapy are discussed.
