Deskripsi

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disorder with multi-organ involvement, and etiology still remains unknown. Neurosarcoidosis is the involvement of the nervous system in sarcoidosis. Spinal cord involvement is usually intra-dural, but extra-dural involvement can also occur. Here, we report a case of 30 years old lady presenting with subacute onset paraparesis with bladder and bowel involvement, which was finally diagnosed as sarcoidosis-associated myelopathy with the longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) phenotype.
