Cervical epidural neurosarcoidosis: A case report and literature review

BACKGROUND: Neurosarcoidosis is a rare disease. In the spine, it commonly presents as an intramedullary lesion. Epidural spinal lesions are extremely rare. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 29-year-old patient presented with a 22-month history of progressive neck, upper limb pain, and myelopathy. The cervical MRI...

description BACKGROUND: Neurosarcoidosis is a rare disease. In the spine, it commonly presents as an intramedullary lesion. Epidural spinal lesions are extremely rare. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 29-year-old patient presented with a 22-month history of progressive neck, upper limb pain, and myelopathy. The cervical MRI showed a large epidural mass infiltrating the paraspinal soft tissue. After an open biopsy, the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis was established and was followed-up by appropriate medical management. CONCLUSION: To manage cervical epidural neurosarcoidosis, first, you must obtain a tissue diagnosis and then follow with appropriate medical management.
