“…On the other hand, if CNS involvement with sarcoidosis is often missed (Delaney, 1977) then the association of psychosis and sarcoidosis may have been underestimated and may in fact be greater than would be expected by chance. Paranoid psychosis and auditory hallucinations in CNS sarcoidosis have been noted to remit with steroid treatment (Suchenwirth & Dold, 1969), but this finding is based upon isolated case reports and the possible value of steroid treatment in cases such as those described here has not been established.…”

SynopsisIn a sample of 268 cases of first-episode schizophrenia, 15 patients were found to have organic disease which appeared relevant to the mental state. There were three cases of syphilis, two cases of sarcoidosis, three of alcohol excess and two of drug abuse. There was one case each of carcinoma of the lung, autoimmune multisystem disease, cerebral cysticercosis, thyroid disease and previous head injury. In this series, identified organic disease was associated with less than 6% of cases of schizophrenia.

A patient whose clinical presentation met criteria for schizophreniform disorder was ultimately found to have neurosarcoidosis, and the psychiatric symptoms responded to steroid treatment. The ongoing search for organic etiology was prompted by the presence of cognitive decline, perseveration and rare bizarre automatisms. This is virtually the first reported association between schizophreniform disorder and sarcoidosis. We reviewed the literature on neurologic involvement and psychiatric manifestations in sarcoidosis as well as the concurrence between organicity and schizophrenic psychosis. The importance of attending to all elements of the mental status examination in a patient with complex atypical findings is underscored.
