Abstract
A case of cerebral sarcoidosis of fortuitous discovery is reported in an adolescent. Neurosarcoidosis is exceedingly rare in the pediatric a ge groups. Clinical manifestations are widely variable and nonspecific , making diagnosis difficult in patients without extraneurologic invol vement. The mainstay of management is early, prolonged corticosteroid therapy. Outcome varies with location of the lesions.
