Spinal Cord Sarcoidosis Treated With Infliximab

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Isolated spinal cord lesion could be misinterpreted as a demyelinating disease. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis should be in the differential when other indices for a demyelinating disorder are absent. An inadequate response to intravenous steroid therapy should not rule out spinal sarcoidosis as this report confirms the response to intravenous ...
