| Description |
We present a case of optic neuropathy with optic nerve head granuloma as the presenting sign of neurosarcoidosis. Initial patient presentation was notable for a chronic cough and worsening of vision in the left eye. Subsequent imaging revealed multiple brain lesions and the presence of a subcarinal lymph node measuring 2.9cm by 3.9cm, found to be negative for malignancy and positive for non-necrotizing granulomas. Fundus photography and optical coherence tomography revealed an optic nerve head granuloma and elevation of the optic nerve head. |
