Abstract

Abstract

Heerfordt’s syndrome is the most frequently encountered form among the rare neurologic involvements in sarcoidosis. With the findings of bilateral parotid gland enlargement, uveitis, facial palsy and consistent histological findings in scalene node specimen, Heerfordt’s syndrome associated with sarcoidosis was diagnosed in a 20 yearold male patient initially followed up with a preliminary diagnosis of mumps, but later referred to our hospital for his hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathies. The case is presented for its rarity and other accompanying organ involvements, and also to emphasize that it must be scrupulously differentiated from the many mimicking disorders requiring different treatments.
