[Neural sarcoidosis in children. A case report].
A case of cerebral sarcoidosis of fortuitous discovery is reported in an adolescent. Neurosarcoidosis is exceedingly rare in the pediatric age groups. Clinical manifestations are widely variable and nonspecific, making diagnosis difficult in patients without extraneurologic involvement. The mainstay of management is early, prolonged corticosteroid therapy. Outcome varies with location of the lesions.
