Abstract

Patients with sarcoidosis may develop hypopituitarism secondary to granulomatous infiltration of the pituitary and hypothalamus. All degrees of anterior pituitary insufficiency can occur, ranging from selective deficiency to panhypopituitarism; diabetes insipidus occurs frequently. Commonly associated neurologic manifestations are cranial neuropathies, aseptic meningitis, and visual field defects. Although neurologic deficits respond well to corticosteroids, hormonal abnormalities generally persist despite therapy.
