[Generalized sarcoidosis with brain and eye participation].
A 34-year-old patient was treated four weeks before his death for a recurrent binocular iritis. He died with clinical symptoms of a cerebral respiratory paresis. The diagnosis of epithilial cells sarcoidosis was made only after histological post mortem examination. It was a cerebral form of chronic disseminated encephalomeningitis with a vascular component. Typical granulomes were found in several organs and also in conjunctiva, ciliary body, choroid and optic nerve.
