Abstract. Purpose:To report a case who developed acute visual field defect during treatment for sarcoidosis. Case:A 30-year-old female presented with blurring in her right eye. She had had left facial palsy 2 months before and been treated with peroral prednisolone. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 1.0 in either eye. The right eye showed intraocular pressure of 58 mmHg. Both eyes showed signs of anterior uveitis, retinal periphlebitis and swollen optic disc. X-ray findings and tracheal biopsy led to the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. She was also diagnosed with diabetes insipidus. The findings improved following peroral prednisolone. She showed visual field defect 5 months after initial visit. Diagnostic imaging showed a pituitary suprasellar granuloma of 20 mm across. Although steroides alone repeated recurrence of worse during decremented, steroid dosage in weight loss well in combination with methotrexate. Conclusion:The case illustrates that central nervous system may be involved during treatment for sarcoidosis.
