Role of magnetic resonance imaging in neurosarcoidosis. 1993

J K Kadakia, and P M Collette, and O P Sharma

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in Sarcoidosis poses a difficult diagnostic problem for the clinician. Neurologic involvement may occur long before the onset of symptoms. Contrast enhanced computerized tomography does not always reveal parenchymal and meningeal involvement. Recently gadolinium enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging has shown increased sensitivity in detecting CNS involvement. These findings however are not specific for sarcoidosis and one must consider appropriate clinical circumstances in arriving at the diagnosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D012507 Sarcoidosis An idiopathic systemic inflammatory granulomatous disorder comprised of epithelioid and multinucleated giant cells with little necrosis. It usually invades the lungs with fibrosis and may also involve lymph nodes, skin, liver, spleen, eyes, phalangeal bones, and parotid glands.
