Abstract

We present six cases with different manifestations of neurosarcoidosis. There are no specific diagnostic tests for sarcoidosis. In the presented cases the diagnosis was made by histological proof of noncaseating granulomas. Patients with systemic sarcoidosis and neurological symptoms should be tested for neurosarcoidosis. All patients with suspected neurosarcoidosis should undergo PET imaging for localizing inflammatory foci of a systemic disease.
