Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown cause with frequent pulmonary, ocular, and lymphatic system manifestations. Central nervous system involvement, although rare (1 to 5%), most commonly affects the cranial nerves. Cranial nerve VIII abnormalities occur in 20% of these patients and are associated with other neuropathies and organ or system involvement. We report a case of neurosarcoidosis that presented as isolated sudden sensorineural hearing loss and uveitis.
