 We describe a patient with bilateral hilar lymph node enlargement on admission. Peripheral facial palsy with sarcoidosis was diagnosed. For sarcoidosis, steroid therapy was initiated to address symptoms associated with Bell's palsy;the patient's facial nerve paralysis improved. Peripheral facial nerve palsy is the most common cause of neuropathy in sarcoidosis. In our patient, a definitive diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis was not made;however, if the patient showed poor improvement or symptomatic relapse after steroid tapering, neurosarcoidosis would have been considered a possible clinical diagnosis. Therefore, long-term steroid use in line with standard neurosarcoidosis treatment was considered in this case.
