An exam may show problems with one or more nerves. A history of sarcoidosis followed nerve-related symptoms highly suggests neurosarcoidosis. However, symptoms of the condition can mimic other medical disorders, including diabetes insipidus, hypopituitarism, optic neuritis, meningitis, and certain tumors.lso known as: Sarcoidosis-nervous system. Neurosarcoidosis is a complication of sarcoidosis in which inflammation occurs in the brain, spinal cord, and other areas of the nervous system.
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY. Computed tomography can show disease when radiographs do not and can also better demostrate lymphadenopathy and the characteristic features of sarcoidosis involving the lung parenchyma. This can be important when the diagnosis is uncertain.his is why transbronchial biopsy has such a high diagnostic yield and is the favored means of obtaining tissue for diagnosis. The involvement of the lung parenchyma by sarcoidosis can have very different appearances ranging from reticulonodular lung tissue densities to multiple masses and miliary lesions.
