Multiple sclerosis and sarcoidosis: A case for coexistence
Conclusions
We propose a rational diagnostic approach to patients with sarcoidosis who may have comorbid MS. When the clinical picture is equivocal, the presence of multiple "MS-typical lesions" and the absence of any "NS-typical lesions" on MRI favor diagnosis of MS. Close follow-up is required to ascertain whether clinical and radiologic disease evolution and response to MS therapies conform to the proposed diagnosis of MS.
