Sarcoidosis and the Nervous System

Sarcoidosis most commonly targets the lungs, but the disease can also affect many other organs and systems.  One of the systems it can affect is the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord and nerves throughout the body.  When sarcoidosis affects this system it is called neurosarcoidosis.  Researchers think that neurosarcoidosis affects between 5 and 10 percent, and maybe even 15 percent of sarcoidosis patients. Symptoms can include seizures, behavior and mood changes, vision problems and paralysis.  This 20 page brochure was produced with contributions raised by neurosarcoidosis patient Kirk Mease.
