ABSTRACT
Sarcoidosis, generally a systemic ailment, uncommonly affects the central nervous system. It only rarely affects the spinal cord alone or in combination with other areas. Syringomyelia has never been associated with sarcoidosis. We report the case of a 32-year-old man with sarcoidosis who presented with surgically verified syringomyelia. The pertinent literature is reviewed. The mechanisms by which sarcoidosis could cause a syrinx are discussed.
