Abstract
Sarcoidosis presents only infrequently with stroke or focal neurologic al deficit and recurrent focal neurological deficit is rarer still. Th is case report describes a patient presenting with episodic nonfluent dysphasia of abrupt onset occurring during a period of 18 months witho ut evidence of seizure activity or macroscopic granulomatous collectio n. The case illustrates that the presentation of neurosarcoidosis may mimic classic reversible ischaemic neurological deficit.
