A. Alharbi","Abeer Alaglan","Fahd Al Sufiani","Ahmed Alkhani"],"abstract":"Background: Neurosarcoidosis is a rare disease. In the spine, it commonly presents as an intramedullary lesion. Epidural spinal lesions are extremely rare. Case Description: A 29-year-old patient presented with a 22-month history of progressive neck, upper limb pain, and myelopathy. The cervical MRI showed a large epidural mass infiltrating the paraspinal soft tissue. After an open biopsy, the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis was established and was followed-up by appropriate medical management. Conclusion: To manage cervical epidural neurosarcoidosis, first, you must obtain a tissue diagnosis and then follow with appropriate medical management.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/8735dce8-5837-4f91-a24e-e0d1bf6d3c9b/featured/hero-1781563424028.png","publishDate":"2020-05-30T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_174_2020","categories":["Spine","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/10060/SNI-11-133.pdf"}
