title: Case report: imaging of central nervous system sarcoidosis with gallium-67 single photon emission computed tomography.
abstract: Involvement of the nervous system is an uncommon and underdiagnosed complication of sarcoidosis. We used gallium single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to define areas of meningeal involvement in a patient with neurosarcoidosis. This technique may be of value in the assessment of patients with sarcoidosis and suspected central nervous system involvement.
