Neurosarcoidosis and Associated Neuropsychological Sequelae: A Rare Case Of Isolated Intracranial Involvement

Abstract: We present a case study of an individual diagnosed with isolated neurosarcoidosis, a rare granulomatous condition of unknown aetiology. Although the extant medical literature on this disease is adequate, no study has focused on the neuropsychological sequelae involved with such an inflammatory disorder.
