Abstract
A case of intracranial sarcoidosis was presented with a review of twelve operated cases reported in the literature.
A 29-year-old female was admitted with a fifteen month history of headache, anosmia, and convulsion. Neurological examination revealed only bilateral anosmia. CT scan showed two enhanced areas. One was on the left half of the tentorium cerebelli and the other was at the anterior part of the falx. The tumor of the tentorium cerebelli was totally removed. Histologically, the tumor was confirmed to be sarcoidosis. Kveim test was positive. The patient returned to her previous work.
