CASE REPORTS
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Rapid-Onset Thoracic Myelopathy due to an Epidural Sarcoid-Like Lesion in a Pediatric Patient.
World Neurosurgery 2018 March
BACKGROUND: Isolated intraspinal neurosarcoidosis is a rare clinical entity, with most reports describing intramedullary involvement in adults.
CASE DESCRIPTION: We detail the case of a 9-year-old girl with rapid-onset compressive myelopathy secondary to a thoracic epidural lesion. Although pathologic diagnosis was challenging, a presumptive diagnosis of isolated extradural neurosarcoidosis was made in light of the patient's investigations and dramatic response to corticosteroids.
CONCLUSIONS: Although less likely than neoplasia, rheumatologic processes such as inflammatory granulomatous disease warrant consideration in similar cases.
