A case of sarcoidosis presenting as cranial polyneuritis.
A Chinese female patient presented with cranial polyneuritis of unknown aetiology. Three years later, the diagnosis became obvious when she developed other features of sarcoidosis. This is the first reported local case of sarcoidosis presenting initially with nervous system involvement. It also highlighted sarcoidosis as a possible aetiology in cases of idiopathic cranial polyneuritis.
