Neurosarcoidosis complicated by systemic vasculitis
A 62-year-old woman with medical history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronaropathy, neurosarcoidosis, s/p craniotomy (brain mass resection) presented with worsening headaches, generalized weakness, vomiting, and hyporexia over two weeks. Brain MRI showed worsening of the known right cavernous sinus mass, vasculitis panel was negative. Patient received IV steroids; during hospitalization, she had a syncopal episode, CT Head was normal, EKG showed new T-wave inversion with troponin elevation. She experienced worsening mentation, left-sided hemiparesis; CT head showed acute hypodensity in the right MCA territory, CTA revealed bilateral distal M1 segment stenosis. Ineligible for thrombolysis/thrombectomy, she was started on aspirin. Echocardiograms were normal. Ischemic signs in her right toes prompted an aortogram showing arterial obstructions in the RLE, necessitating SFA stent placement, and clopidogrel. IV cyclophosphamide was added without additional vascular complications. This case illustrates neurosarcoidosis complicated by systemic vasculitis of medium-large vessels, responding to aggressive immunosuppression with glucocorticoids and cytotoxic agents.

The AJMS is the official journal of the Southern Society for Clinical Investigation (SSCI). The SSCI is dedicated to the advancement of medical research and the exchange of knowledge, information and ideas. Its members are committed to mentoring future generations of medical investigators and promoting careers in academic medicine. The AJMS publishes, on a monthly basis, peer-reviewed articles in the field of internal medicine and its subspecialties, which include:
Original clinical and basic science investigations
Review articles
Online Images in the Medical Sciences
