A Case of Sarcoidosis with Right Sensorineural Hearing Loss, Left Facial Nerve Paralysis, and Bilateral Canal Paresis
Introduction: Sarcoidosis is an multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown cause characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in the affected tissues, most often involving the lungs, skin, lymph nodes, and eyes. Neurosarcoidosis, which refers to involvement of the central nervous system in patients with sarcoidosis, is said to account for about 5% of all cases of systemic sarcoidosis. Herein, we report a case of sarcoidosis that presented with right hearing loss and dizziness and subsequently developed left facial nerve paralysis.
