Abstract
Case report. A case report of spinal sarcoidosis improving clinically and radiographically with treatment which correlated with improvement in cerebrospinal fluid T-lymphocyte subpopulation ratios. Walter Reed Army Medical Center. A 46-year-old man presented with an enhancing spinal cord lesion. Lymph node biopsy confirmed sarcoidosis, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed elevation in the ratio of two T-lymphocyte subpopulations. Treatment with steroids resulted in clinical resolution and immunocytologic improvement in the CSF.
