Abstract
Objective: We report a case of hydrocephalus as manifestation of neurosarcoidosis in absence of pulmonary features. The diagnosis and management could be a challenge in such atypical presentation of hydrocephalus in previously healthy young adult. The goal is to emphasize on importance to recognize atypical presentation in timely manner as neurologic involvement is significant cause of mortality and morbidity.
