ABSTRACT

Neurosarcoidosis is an uncommon presentation of sarcoidosis; it can involve central and peripheral nervous system, cranial nerves. There is scarcity in the published data in respect to neurosarcoidosis in different regions in the globe. Again, there is absence of definite diagnostic criteria to diagnose neurosarcoidosis, so there is every chance of misdiagnose this case. There may be associated involvement of other system in the body. Here we discussed a case of neurosarcoidosis which presented in a very uncommon way.

Keywords: Young boy, facial nerve and optic nerve involvement, uveitis, neurosarcoidosis.
