title: [Sarcoidosis presenting with recurrent aseptic meningitis and acute hearing loss].
abstract: Neurologic complications occur in 5% of patients with sarcoidosis. Neurosarcoidosis ranges from mild neurologic deficits to a destructive, life-threatening disease, and at times is the only presenting symptom of sarcoidosis, thus posing a diagnostic challenge for the doctor neurologic symptoms include cranial nerve palsies, with the vestibulocochlear nerve rarely being involved. We present a patient with neurosarcoidosis manifesting as recurrent episodes of aseptic meningitis, vertigo, and acute hearing loss.
