Sarcoid myelopathy.
A 45-year-old woman with history of iritis, uveitis, and sarcoidosis of the skin presented with a subacute cervical myelopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed patchy, multifocal, gadolinium-enhancing intramedullary lesions of the spinal cord, and extramedullary lesions of the basal cisterns and fourth ventricle. Symptoms and MRI abnormalities were improved within 1 month of corticosteroid therapy.
