Objective: To describe the ocular findings of neurosarcoidosis (NS) through a case series and review the current literature on the ocular complications of NS. Methods: Case series of 4 patients with a literature review. Results: Ophthalmic involvement in NS includes scleritis, cranial nerve palsies, uveitis, optic nerve granulomas, and occlusive retinal vasculitis. Conclusion: NS is an uncommon, but potentially lifethreatening, manifestation of sarcoidosis with ocular involvement up to 25% of patients. Patients presenting with neuro-ophthalmic manifestations of sarcoidosis are more likely to have other sites of involvement requiring ophthalmologists to maintain a high index of suspicion for systemic disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
