摘要
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder with an unknown etiology that typically involves the lungs, skin, and lymph nodes, with neurological involvement being relatively rare. We discuss a case of neurosarcoidosis in a 64-year-old man who initially presented with unexplained cognitive impairment, insomnia, hyponatremia, paresthesias, and weight loss and later developed uveitis, diplopia, and dysphagia. Ultimately, findings of hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy on chest computed tomography (CT) resulted in bronchoscopy, which led to the diagnosis. This case highlights a rare presentation of sarcoidosis with an unusual constellation of symptoms. We discuss the difficulty involved in diagnosing this disorder as well as its highly variable course.
