Isolated cervical intramedullary sarcoidosis--a histological surprise

C S Mathieson et al. Br J Neurosurg. 2004 Dec.

Abstract

We present a case of cervical intramedullary sarcoidosis. A 56 year old woman presented with progressive paraesthesia affecting the lower limbs. MRI revealed an intramedullar lesion from C4-C7. A laminectomy and subtotal resection was carried out for this presumed intramedullary tumour. Pathology revealed this to be a granulomatous lesion with features indicative of sarcoidosis. Postoperatively, there was no change in her neurological function and her symptoms improved with steroid therapy.
