lüll Neurosarcoidosis with spinal root pain as the first symptom Shono T; Tamai M; Kobayashi M; Wakasaki H; Furuta H; Nakao T; Hanabusa T; Nishi M; Sasaki H; Nanjo KIntern Med 2004[Sep]; 43 (9): 873-7We report a 60-year-old woman with neurosarcoidosis. She was referred to our hospital for examination of the cause of pain in left Th4-6 dermatome. Chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) revealed bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, and her serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) level was elevated. Histological finding of mediastinal lymph nodes consisted with sarcoidosis. Therefore, her pain was thought to be spinal root pain caused by neurosarcoidosis. With the administration of prednisolone, her symptom and bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy disappeared, and serum ACE level became normal. It is important to pay attention to neurosarcoidosis when patients show unknown spinal root symptom, although it is rare.|Back Pain/*etiology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Nervous System Diseases/*diagnosis[MESH]|Peripheral Nervous System Diseases/diagnosis[MESH]|Sarcoidosis/complications/*diagnosis[MESH]|Spinal Cord Diseases/diagnosis[MESH]|Spinal Nerve Roots[MESH] |
