A 31‐year‐old man with histologically documented pulmonary sarcoidosis developed a severe hypokinetic rigid syndrome with a supranuclear gaze palsy following recurrent lymphocytic meningitis and occlusive hydrocephalus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple hyperintense foci in the CNS, not detectable by computed tomography (CT). Long‐term steroid therapy led to clinical complete remission.
