Abstract
- There are clinical and radiological phenotypes characteristic of neurosarcoidosis. Histopathologic confirmation is preferred, however, biopsy is associated with a significant risk of morbidity when only eloquent neural structures are involved and where there is no systemic disease. We present a series of patients with isolated neurosarcoidosis and suggest circumstances where an empirical, closely monitored, trial of tumour-necrosis-factor-alpha inhibitor therapy can improve outcome and diagnostic confidence.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest None.<br /> (Copyright © 2022.
