This report documents the twelve-year follow-up of a patient with neurosarcoidosis with multiple progressive central nervous system manifestations. Increased somnolence and seizure activity were associated with proliferation of nodular enhancing brain lesions, as seen on serial computed tomographic (CT) scans. Initially he responded to corticosteroid treatment, but gradually this response became unsatisfactory. After whole-brain irradiation with a total dose of 3,000 rads, his clinical symptoms improved with disappearance of the enhancing brain lesions seen on CT scan.
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.
