Abstract
We report two patients with biopsy-proven audiovestibular sarcoidosis who presented with hearing loss, vertigo and gait ataxia. Oto-neurological investigations confirmed the presence of sensorineural hearing loss, vestibular hypofunction and abnormal auditory brainstem responses. MRI scans of the brain revealed enhancement of the vestibulo-cochlear nerves. Both patients responded to high dose oral corticosteroid treatment, although one patient has required multiple trials of immunosuppressant drug therapy because of relapsing disease.
