Inflammation of the meninges due to Sarcoidosis. The syndrome is clinically characterised by headache, neck stiffness, fever and photophobia. The presentation may be acute, subacute, chronic or recurrent. Other neurological features of Sarcoidosis may be present along with systemic manifestations. Diagnosis may be confirmed by serological tests, neuroimaging and meningeal biopsy. Spinal fluid analysis may reveal a lymphocytic pleocytosis, raised protein and the presence of oligoclonal bands.
