Neurosarcoidosis resembling meningioma: MRI characteristics and pathologic correlation.

Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract

A 37-year-old woman had visual changes. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an extraaxial mass in the anterior clinoid region that was presumed to be meningioma. There was no evidence of systemic or leptomeningeal disease. Pathologic findings were consistent with sarcoidosis. Isolated mass-like neurosarcoidosis, without systemic or leptomeningeal disease is difficult to diagnose preoperatively.
