Neurosarcoidosis occurs in 5–10% of people with sarcoidosis, but due to its heterogeneous clinical presentation, and the low sensitivity of ancillary investigations, diagnosis is often difficult [1]. Multiple cranial neuropathies, aseptic meningitis, myelitis and other kinds of parenchymal involvement are the most frequent presentations [1].
