AB SUMMARY: A 36-year-old woman presented with acute-onset right lower extremity paresthesias, dysarthria, right facial droop, and right hemiparesis. CT and MR imaging of the brain revealed extensive white matter disease and left basal ganglia infarction with dural and leptomeningeal enhancement. Differential considerations included vasculitis, granulomatous disease, and neoplasm. Chest, abdomen, and pelvis CTs were normal. Right temporal lobe biopsy revealed noncaseating granulomatous inflammation consistent with neurosarcoidosis.
