Neuro-ophthalmologic signs in the angiitic form of neurosarcoidosis

L. Caplan, J. Corbett, J. Goodwin, C. Thomas, D. Shenker and N. Schatz

Departments of Neurology (Drs. Caplan and Goodwin) and Pathology (Dr. Thomas), Michael Reese Hospital and University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, Chicago, and the Department of Neurology (Dr. Corbett), University of Iowa and Wills Eye Hospital (Dr. Schatz).

We studied eight patients with CNS sarcoidosis, including two patients with postmortem evidence of sarcoid granulomatous angiitis. Neuro-ophthalmologic findings included perivenular sheathing of retinal veins resembling the dripping of candle wax, vitreous cells, anterior uveitis, optic disk edema or granulomas, and conjunctival granulomas. Perivenous sheathing in the retina and the perivascular meningeal lesions in sarcoid angiitis were identical.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr. Caplan, Department of Neurology, Michael Reese Hospital, 2900 South Ellis, Chicago, IL 60616.

Presented at the thirty-fourth Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, Washington, DC, April 1982.

Accepted for publication December 28, 1982.
