Key Points

  • The aim is to highlight the diagnostic challenges and surgical considerations for neurosarcoidosis that resembles meningiomas.
  • Analysis of imaging findings using T2-weighted imaging.
  • Assessment of intraoperative findings.
  • Consideration of steroid-responsive factors in surgical planning.
  • Characteristic T2-weighted imaging findings aid in differentiation.
  • Intraoperative appearance impacts surgical decisions.
  • Addressing dural inflammation can reduce complications and invasiveness.

Abstract

Although pre- and intraoperative diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis is challenging, characteristic T2-weighted imaging findings and intraoperative appearance may aid differentiation. Considering steroid-responsive dural inflammation during surgical planning may help minimize invasiveness and complications. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25954.
