| History |
A 35 yo legally blind gentleman was referred for evaluation because of neck and new lower back pain. His visual; loss began 4 years prior, following a trip to 'N'Orleans'. He had been on a 'Boys Trip' for 10 days, and had been cursed with Voodoo for not paying a cemetery tour guide as promised. |
| Disease/Diagnosis |
Late involvement of the axial skeleton and pelvis with CNS sarcoid. Sarcoidosis of the axial skeleton is uncommon, but when it does occur, it fortunately can have this classic picture radiologically. CNS involvement is also rare (<16% of cases) and bilateral blinding optic neuropathy even less common (<5%). After the thorax, the skin and uvea of the eye are the most commonly affected, followed by the liver and heart. Only 10-30% of cases will have a chronic progressive pattern of disease. Gold standard for diagnosis is of course histological by biopsy. |
