Neurosarcoidosis: radiologic features in five patients.
This paper describes the radiological features in five biopsy-confirmed cases of neurosarcoidosis. The imaging appearance of neurosarcoidosis is highly variable, making the diagnosis difficult on the basis of intracranial images alone. However, if there is evidence of spread along the pia mater, and meningeal mass formation with a lower intensity in the central area and higher intensity in the peripheral area on T2-weighted and FLAIR images, neurosarcoidosis can be considered.
