| Description |
Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis is a rare subtype of sarcoidosis which only infrequently affects the visual system. Moreover, isolated optic nerve involvement in absence of other ocular or systemic stigmata of the disease is rare. This is a case presentation of biopsy-confirmed necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis leading to progressive bilateral optic neuropathy due to presumed adhesive arachnoiditis compressing the optic nerves. |
