Sarcoidosis Mimicking Crohn Disease

Intestinal sarcoidosis can mimic Crohn disease (CD), and it is important to evaluate for alternative diagnoses in patients who present with atypical symptoms or do not respond to conventional therapy. Furthermore, CD, with or without biologic therapy, has been associated with neurological symptoms including neuropathies, myelopathies, thromboembolic, and demyelinating diseases leading to diagnostic uncertainty. We present a case of sarcoidosis of the luminal gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system, which mimicked the presentation of CD. This case highlights the need to expand the differential diagnosis in patients who present with atypical symptoms and do not respond to biologic therapy.
