Neurosarcoidosis
Neurosarcoidosis is a rare, chronic neuroinflammatory condition. It develops in approximately 5-15% of patients with systemic sarcoidosis. The origin of sarcoidosis is not fully understood but it probably stems from an exaggerated immune response (granuloma formation) against an unknown antigen. The disease may affect any part of the nervous system: meninges, brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves; this explains why symptoms vary greatly from person to person and even from flare to flare. Left untreated, the disease has the potential to cause cumulative nervous damage and severe disability.
