Abstract

A case of cavernous sarcoid granuloma, revealed by a slit sphenoidal syndrome is reported. Brain MRI showed a cavernous pseudo-tumoral lesion. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was confirmed by the epithelioid and giant-cell granuloma without caseous necrosis found at hepatic biopsy. Outcome was favorable with corticosteroid therapy alone.
