title: [Cavernous sarcoid granuloma of the skull base: a case report].
abstract: A case of cavernous sarcoid granuloma, revealed by a slit sphenoidal syndrome is reported. Brain MRI showed a cavernous pseudo-tumoral lesion. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was confirmed by the epithelioid and giant-cell granuloma without caseous necrosis found at hepatic biopsy. Outcome was favorable with corticosteroid therapy alone.
