Résumé
Sarcoidosis is uncommon multiple organ granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Neurosarcoidosis occurs in about 5% of cases and most frequently follows systemic disease. We present a case of 52 -years -old woman with a progressive hemifacial paresthesia and multiple enhancing dural based lesions. Resection of the right frontal mass allowed for the diagnosis to be made. The patient had no other features of sarcoidosis. Therefore, the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis, especially when unaccompanied by systemic features can be challenging but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of multiple enhancing dural based tumours.
