What is neurosarcoidosis?
sarcoidosis is a disease that causes chronic inflammation. When spreading to the nervous system, the condition is called neurosarcoidosis. Muscle twitches or weakness are possible symptoms of neurosarcoidosis and if the brain is affected, the disease can also affect regulatory effects such as drowsiness or temperature control. Neurosarcoidosis is incurable, but in many cases the condition is solved. The growths consist of cells that are usually involved in the immune system. Inflammation results in growth in areas. The cause of sarcoidosis is unknown, but environmental conditions, genetics and abnormal responses to infection can play roles. Sarcoidosis generally affects adults between the ages of 20 and 40. Because the disease can affect any nerve, the symptoms differ. The affected nerves that send impulses to the body to move muscles can cause twitching or weakness. Nerves that transmit stimuli, such as touch or smell, may not work properly. Brain function can also be changed as temperature control can be changed, stress and sleep signaling.
The most common symptom of neurosarcoidosis is Bell's palsy. Bell's Palsy is a weakness in the face muscles on one side of the face. This causes a declining or weakness of the muscle. If granulomas are affected by other peripheral nerves, symptoms may include muscle weakness, muscle paralysis and loss of feeling.
When it is a pituitary in the brain, symptoms such as abnormal thirst, fatigue and abnormal menstruation may occur. The affected brain can lead to mental or physical symptoms. Mental symptoms may include delirium, confusion of ademence. The patient may also show a reduction in senses such as taste, smell or sound. Possible symptoms are also seizures, dizziness and vision.
Many possible and diverse symptoms of neurosarcoidosis due to many parts of the nervous system can attack the disease, which means that the condition is difficult to diagnose. By primary treatment conditionU is the use of steroids. There may also be beneficial drugs that regulate or suppress the inflammation of the immune system such as hydroxychlorine or methotrexate.
The disease is usually solved, and it can only take four months, even if it may take years. In other cases, neurosarcoidosis remains either constantly active or burned throughout life. Neurosarcoids potentially deactivate and may even be fatal.
