Tf. Scott et J. Brillman, Shunt-responsive dementia in sarcoid meningitis: Role of magnetic resonance imaging and cisternography, J NEUROIMAG, 10(3), 2000, pp. 185-186
The authors report a patient with progressive cognitive and gait decline in
association with sarcoid meningitis. The patient had evidence of active in
flammation as determined by cerebrospinal fluid examination and was steroid
dependent. Magnetic resonance imaging and radionucleotide cisternography w
ere complementary in establishing the diagnosis of communicating hydrocepha
lus, and suggested that the patient would be shunt responsive.
