title: [Amnesic syndrome in sarcoidosis].
abstract: We report a case of neurosarcoidosis characterized by central nervous system involvement 6 years after the onset of the disease. Our case is remarkable for the gradual development of an amnesic syndrome. Although neurological examinations gave normal results, the semeiological profile of the cognitive disorder suggests the presence of a hypothalamic sarcoid lesion involving the basal forebrain.
