Neurosarcoidosis with computerized tomographic visualization and transsphenoidal excision of a supra- and intrasellar granuloma

Abstract
Neurological involvement in sarcoidosis frequently causes dysfunction of the optic nerves and neurohypophysis. Sarcoid granulomas in the suprasellar region have been previously diagnosed by pneumoencephalograms. A human case is reported of visualization of a sarcoid granuloma by computerized tomography, followed by transsphenoidal excision. Resection of a localized granuloma should be considered in very selective cases.
