Neuro‐ophthalmologic signs in the angiitic form of neurosarcoidosis

We studied eight patients with CNS sarcoidosis, including two patients with postmortem evidence of sarcoid granulomatous angiitis. Neuro-ophthalmologic findings included perivenular sheathing of retinal veins resembling the dripping of candle wax, vitreous cells, anterior uveitis, optic disk edema or granulomas, and conjunctival granulomas. Perivenous sheathing in the retina and the perivascular meningeal lesions in sarcoid angiitis were identical.
