Multiple sclerosis in sarcoidosis patients: Two case reports

Abstract

Two cases of sarcoidosis referred to our clinic with neurological symptoms. They were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis using non-invasive studies. The first patient refused treatment and died of myocardial infarction 6 months after visiting our clinic. The second received interferon-beta and methotrexate with a favorable outcome after 3 years. Since the possible similar presentation of the two conditions could appear indistinct for certain diagnosis, accurate evaluation of symptoms and paraclinical data can provide the best approach to each condition.
