Abstract
We present a case of hydrocephalus as the primary manifestation of neurosarcoidosis. Neurologic involvement is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with sarcoidosis. Detection and management of neurosarcoidosis remains problematic. Although the typical presentation of facial nerve palsy in a documented case of sarcoidosis is not a diagnostic dilemma, more atypical presentations such as hydrocephalus with increased intracranial pressure in a previously healthy patient can be a challenge.Entities:
