Abstract

Two cases of neurosarcoidosis in the pituitary gland are presented with a review of past cases from the literature. Previous reported cases have always shown changes on the ondocrine exis clinically. These two cases, however, were endocrinologically normal prior to surgery. The evaluation of neurosarcoid in the pituitary, clinically and radiographically, is discussed.
