| Abstract | Sarcoidosis causes granulomatous inflammation in multiple organ systems. Lungs are the most commonly affected organs. In 50% of the cases with lung involvement, other organs are also involved. The central nervous system is one of the rarer organ systems involved - comprising 5-15% of all the cases. Neurological involvement, when present, can affect virtually every part of the central and peripheral nervous system. We present an interesting case of a 30-year-old nonalcoholic, nonsmoker man who presented with a chronic headache of 6 years. He had a recent swaying of the body for 6 months and mild forgetfulness for 4 months. The patient had 2 episodes of facial nerve palsy in the past - which had responded to the treatment of Bell's palsy; however, the patient had some residual findings on presentation. While CSF findings suggested meningeal tuberculosis, the radiological evidence and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis. On follow-up after 6 weeks of steroid therapy, the patient displayed a marked improvement in headache, cognitive function, and a good response on imaging studies. Our case emphasizes that neurosarcoidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic headaches and recurrent facial nerve palsy despite being very rare. Copyright (c) 2021 by S.
