Description
Summary:Neurosarcoidosis can present neuropsychiatric manifestations, being a rare form of presentation of sarcoidosis, with a possible large spectrum of clinical manifestations, making the diagnosis more difficult. Neuroimage exams are an essential tool in detecting central nervous system (CNS) lesions, but definitive diagnosis can only be established after biopsy and anatomopathological examination. The authors present a clinical case of neurosarcoidosis, where the first manifestations of the disease were tonic-clonic seizures and psychotic episode.
