About Neurosarcoidosis
Key Highlights
-
Involves a multidisciplinary approach led by a neurologist for specialized nervous system care.Utilizes advanced diagnostic tools like MRI and lumbar puncture for accurate assessment.Focuses on targeted immunosuppressive therapy to control inflammation and prevent neurological damage.Enables long-term management plans to monitor symptoms and adjust treatment as needed.Aims to preserve neurological function and improve overall quality of life.
Who is this surgery for?
- Unexplained neurological symptoms in a patient with known systemic sarcoidosis.
- New-onset symptoms such as persistent headaches, seizures, or visual disturbances.
- Signs of cranial nerve involvement (e.g., facial palsy, hearing loss).
- Evidence of meningeal inflammation, myelopathy (spinal cord involvement), or peripheral neuropathy.
- Abnormal findings on neurological imaging (MRI) suggestive of inflammatory lesions.
How to prepare
- Detailed review of the patient's medical history and any prior sarcoidosis diagnosis.
- Comprehensive neurological examination to establish a baseline.
- Pre-procedure blood tests to assess overall health and organ function.
- Discussion of the diagnostic plan, which may include MRI, lumbar puncture, or biopsy.
- For specific procedures like a lumbar puncture or biopsy, fasting may be required, and current medications (especially blood thinners) will be reviewed.
Risks & possible complications
- Side effects from long-term corticosteroid use (weight gain, diabetes, osteoporosis).
- Increased risk of infections due to immunosuppressive medications.
- Potential complications from diagnostic procedures (e.g., headache from lumbar puncture, bleeding or infection from biopsy).
- Progression of neurological deficits if inflammation is not adequately controlled.
- Medication-specific risks such as liver or kidney toxicity from certain immunosuppressants.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery is highly variable and depends on the extent of neurological involvement and treatment response.
- Immediate post-procedure care for diagnostics (like lumbar puncture) involves rest and hydration.
- Long-term recovery focuses on managing medication regimens and monitoring for side effects.
- Regular follow-up appointments with the neurologist for clinical reassessment and repeat imaging.
- Incorporation of supportive therapies such as physical, occupational, or speech therapy as needed for rehabilitation.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
