title: [Diagnosis of sarcoidosis of the brain].
abstract: Based on 15 years' their own experience and clinical observations of 65 patients with sarcoidosis of the brain, the authors have formulated diagnostic algorithms and a battery of studies that can suspect this disease. Since the clinical manifestations of sarcoidosis of the brain are non-specific, particularly at the early stages of its development, the condition of its recognition is the application of all required high-informative diagnostic neuroimaging techniques that are available to a neurological clinic. Nevertheless, sarcoidosis cannot be timely and correctly recognized in all cases. Diagnostic errors in its recognition are caused by the fact that X-ray computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging is untimely made, tomographic changes are erroneously interpreted, and the studies are conducted improperly.
