Abstract
We report a case of sarcoid meningitis associated with grand mal seizures. The patient
failed to respond to corticosteroid therapy but showed improvement of symptoms, resulte
of computed tomographic scan, and cerebrospinal fluid after receiving low-dose whole-brain
irradiation. This form of sarcoldosis is associated with a poor prognosis, and therapy,
even with corticosteroids, is generally unsuccessful.
