Anterior uveitis is the most common ocular manifestation of sarcoidosis. Ocular involvement affects approximately 30-60% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis; however, optic disc edema is a rare event. We report a patient who presented with a rare case of sarcoidosis with neuro-ophthalmic manifestations.
