title: Spectrum of sarcoidosis involving the eye and brain.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To illustrate the spectrum of sarcoidosis involving the eye and brain and the difficulties of confirming its clinical diagnosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  The presentation of two unusual case reports of patients with ocular and cerebral involvement with sarcoidosis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Tissue biopsy, an essential component in the differential diagnosis, was required to confirm the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in each patient.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Sarcoidosis remains an enigmatic disease with protean manifestations and widely differing outcomes.
