dc.description.abstractA 29-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with red eyes and hypoacusia since the previous weeks associated with a sudden right facial palsy. Ophthalmologic examination revealed bilateral uveitis and lumbar puncture was compatible with aseptic meningitis. Thoracic computed tomography scan showed pulmonary nodules and mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy. Bronchoalveolar lavage revealed a CD4/CD8 ratio of 8, and lymph node biopsy confirmed non-caseating granulomas. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis with ocular, pulmonary, and neurologic involvement was made. Due to sarcoidosis severity at presentation, the patient was started on systemic steroids and methotrexate with improvement. Sarcoidosis involvement of the central nervous system is a rare condition (5-10%) but can be the first manifestation of the disease. Its presentation can be heterogeneous; therefore, symptoms are frequently devalued by patients and physicians, leading to a late diagnosis and permanent damage. Clinicians' awareness is crucial to early diagnosis and treatment.pt_PT
