Abstract: Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that affects multiple body organs, predominantly the lungs and lymph glands. In patients with sarcoidosis, there is the formation of granulomas which contain inflamed tissues. These granulomas may alter the normal structural and functional properties of the organs. Neurological involvement in sarcoidosis is rare. Various parts of the nervous system are affected in sarcoidosis while Cranial nerves II, VII, and VIII are commonly involved. Disturbances of calcium homeostasis are relatively uncommon in sarcoidosis, this is due to the overproduction of calcitriol by activated macrophages. In this study we are going to discuss the occurrence of facial nerve palsy and hyperkalemia in patients with sarcoidosis.
