Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are useful tools for assessing orbital content. Using these imaging modalities, one can quantify orbital involvement in Graves disease. This analysis is based upon five items: proptosis, fat, muscles, optic nerve and ethmoid.
We report a case of Lyme disease presenting as an oculomotor nerve palsy and meningitis. T1-weighted postcontrast magnetic resonance images showed marked enhancement of the right third, fifth and sixth nerves. This case illustrates neuroradiological features of cranial nerves during neuroborreliosis.
Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disease which involves the nervous system in 5 to 15 p.cent. Neurosarcoidosis without signs of systemic disease is rare and may be difficult to diagnose. We report a case of a 61 year-old patient with a pseudotumoral neurosarcoidosis and along evolution of 25 years without systemic signs. In such cases, histological analysis is rewarding.
