Abstract
A rare case of the specific lesion of the optic nerve’s intracranial part due to occult sarcoidosis in young woman presented. The disease started with unilateral progressive visual loss. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast enhancement was primary suspected of optic glioma. The patient underwent surgical removal of lesion to prevent its future spreading to the optic pathways and for histopathological investigation. Diagnosis of the disease was associated with certain difficulties. Specimen examination revealed sarcoid granuloma, and following clinical screening confirmed sarcoidosis.
