Abstract
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.
