Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer care by enhancing anti-tumor immunity. However, by virtue of stimulating the immune system, they can lead to immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Neurologic irAEs are uncommon but are becoming increasingly recognized and can be quite serious or even fatal. Furthermore, central nervous system (CNS) manifestations may be difficult to distinguish from CNS metastases, posing management challenges. Here, we describe a patient who developed exacerbation of sarcoidosis leading to CNS involvement following dual checkpoint blockade with nivolumab and ipilimumab for metastatic melanoma and review the relevant literature.
