Abstract
A 55-year-old caucasian woman with non-productive cough and weakness presented with bilateral granulomatous anterior uveitis. Few days later, the patient presented again complaining of horizontal diplopia due to internuclear ophthalmoplegia. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made as a result of clinical examination and systemic investigations. Particularly, high-resolution computed tomography scanning of the chest was able to identify bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy not previously detected by chest X-ray. Biopsy confirmed diagnosis showing classic non-caseating granulomas.
