Key Clinical Message Involvement of the central nervous system in sarcoidosis is rare; neurosarcoidosis, although unusual, can present as leptomeningitis. The diagnosis is usually difficult because of the vague and broad symptomatology; therefore, a prompt diagnosis should be made, and adequate treatment should be administered to reduce morbidity and mortality.
