Fundus pathology in neurosarcoidosis.
We describe the ocular symptomatology in 6 patients with neurosarcoidosis. All patients suffered from uveitis posterior or panuveitis. Ophthalmoscopy revealed multifocal chorioretinic lesions, periphlebitis, severe papilledema or an isolated chorioretinic process. The similarity with birdshot chorioretinopathy is described. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, computer assisted tomography and visual field examination can all contribute to the determination of neurological involvement in sarcoidosis.
