description

  • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized histologically by noncaseating granulomas. Localization of sarcoidosis to the CNS is termed neurosarcoidosis, a complex and rare neuroinflammatory form of sarcoidosis. When the spinal cord is involved, lesions are often intradural. Here, we present a rare case of progressive myelopathy secondary to multifocal spinal extradural neurosarcoidosis with spinal cord compression and without pulmonary involvement.
