Description |
Neurosarcoidosis, a complication of sarcoidosis, occurs in approximately 5% of patients with sarcoidosis and can affect the central or peripheral nervous systems. Subacute inflammatory optic neuropathy has been reported in only 1-5% of patients with neurosarcoidosis and is seldom the initial clinical manifestation. Optic perineuritis is an even rarer. We report a unique case of neurosarcoidosis presenting as unilateral optic neuritis and optic perineuritis. |
