Neurosarcoidosis

02/01/2010 - "The combination of F-18 FDG and F-18 FLT PET/CT can be helpful in differentiating granulomatous inflammatory diseases such as neurosarcoidosis from malignancy and in localizing the most appropriate biopsy site of active sarcoidosis."
11/01/2015 - "Key Messages Neurosarcoidosis is a rare disorder that affects clinically 5%-10% of sarcoidosis patients, but can be found in up to 25% of autopsies, revealing that a high percentage of asymptomatic or misdiagnosed cases can be missed at an initial diagnostic approach. "
08/01/2015 - "Neurosarcoidosis is a rare and aggressive variant of systemic sarcoidosis which may result in hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction. "
05/01/2015 - "Sarcoidosis is a multi-organ immune-mediated disease, which manifests as neurosarcoidosis (NS) in approximately 10% of all affected patients. "
04/01/2015 - "Neurosarcoidosis is also a rare entity that occurs in less than 5% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis. "

01/01/2015 - "Endoscopic procedure is less invasive and more effective for biopsy of neurosarcoidosis with hydrocephalus, even if the lesion is located at the fourth ventricle outlet."
07/01/1989 - "Hydrocephalus associated with neurosarcoidosis may progress despite steroid treatment, even when symptoms have improved. "
01/01/2015 - "We report a rare case of progressive hydrocephalus associated with neurosarcoidosis mass lesion located at the fourth ventricle outlet and suprasellar region. "
01/01/2015 - "Endoscopic biopsy for the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis at the fourth ventricle outlet with hydrocephalus."
12/01/2013 - "CT-scan and MRI showed a temporal-parietal cystic mass, secondary to a rare and focal form of hydrocephalus, called "trapped temporal horn" revealing neurosarcoidosis. "

01/01/2014 - "Because its etiology is unknown, its neurological manifestations are so diverse, and its diagnosis cannot be readily confirmed by laboratory tests, neurosarcoidosis poses many clinical problems. "
01/01/2010 - "This case is discussed in the context of the existing literature on cognitive impairment and neurosarcoidosis, and adds to the small body of literature surrounding the chronic neurologic manifestations of this disease."
05/01/2009 - "We undertook a retrospective study of patients with biopsy-proved or clinically diagnosed neurosarcoidosis for the following reasons: 1) to assess concordance between abnormalities noted on MR imaging with neurologic symptoms at presentation; 2) to correlate changes in imaging findings during follow-up with clinical improvement or worsening; and 3) to identify imaging features that may have prognostic significance. "
09/01/2002 - "Most patients with neurosarcoidosis have extraneurologic abnormalities and extraneurologic biopsies usually support the diagnosis, however, nearly half of the patients with neurosarcoidosis present with neurological manifestations without systemic symptoms. "
09/11/2001 - "Twenty-seven patients with neurosarcoidosis were followed for at least 5 years from the onset of neurologic symptoms. "

10/01/2012 - "Although a clinical diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis can often be made, the wide range of potential differential diagnoses, including other steroid responsive conditions (such as idiopathic lymphocytic meningitis) means that a confirmed diagnosis is invaluable. "
07/01/2012 - "Reply: Idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis mimicking neurosarcoidosis."
02/01/2012 - "Idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis mimicking neurosarcoidosis."
03/01/2008 - "Neurosarcoidosis presents with meningitis, cranial nerve involvement, and parenchymal masses. "
09/01/2005 - "But increased level of ACE in CSF is not specific of neurosarcoidosis since elevations were also shown in meningitis. "

09/01/2011 - "F-18 FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of a rare case of neurosarcoidosis in a patient with diabetes insipidus."
08/01/2011 - "[Diabetes insipidus due to neurosarcoidosis]."
01/01/2011 - "This is the first reported case of neurosarcoidosis with diabetes insipidus and caseation on histology that we are aware of. "
09/01/2006 - "During neurosarcoidosis, diabetes insipidus is the most frequent condition and gonadotropic deficiency is the most frequent deficit but GH has not been systematically studied. "
10/01/2004 - "Diabetes insipidus from neurosarcoidosis: long-term follow-up for more than eight years."
