Sarcoidosis of the pineal region: CT and MR studies.
An isolated sarcoid involvement of the pineal region is reported. This case is of interest because of an unusual clinical onset, an exceptional location, and a positive response to radiotherapy after unsuccessful steroid therapy. The evolution of this case as shown by CT and magnetic resonance studies is discussed.
