Abstract
- Sarcoidosis is multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology presenting most freguently with bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, pulmonary infiitration, and skin or eye lesion. Nervous system is involoved clinically in approximately 5% of cases. Cranial neuropathy is the most frequent problem, and a peripheral facial nerve palsy is the single most common abnormlality which is often bilateral. About 12 cases of sarcoidosis have been reported in Korea but there was no case of neurosarcoidosis. We report a case of neurosarcoidosis manifested by facial diplegia and with bilateral hilar enlargement verified by transbronchial lung biopsy. And her heart is suspected to be involved with sarcoidosis, too.
