Hypothalamic sarcoidosis in an older patient diagnosed by narrow band imaging–guided transcortical neuroendoscopic biopsy: illustrative case
Neurosarcoidosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis of multiple solid cerebral mass lesions in older patients. Detecting characteristic vascular constructions using NBI allows for the accurate identification of lesions. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25578.
