Minor salivary gland biopsy for the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis

Conclusion: Considering the low sensitivity of MSGB for the diagnosis of NS, MSGB should be per formed in selected indications, including a suspicion of spinal cord sarcoidosis, or when there is a strong clinical, laboratory and radiological suspicion of NS. MSGB should rather not be performed when the chest CT-scan does not show signs of pulmonary or lymph node sarcoidosis.
