A patient with suspected multiple sclerosis was studied with serial brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) over a period of 3 years before undergoing brain biopsy of an intracranial lesion, which proved to be meningeal sarcoidosis. This is the first report of enhanced and unenhanced MRI study of biopsy‐proved intracranial meningeal sarcoidosis. Invasion of brain tissue seen on biopsy specimens could not be inferred from the MRI appearance.
