Familial sarcoidosis presenting with stridor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sarcoidosis uncommonly presents with bronchial narrowing, produced by mucosal lesions or external compression by enlarged glands. We report two sisters with sarcoidosis who presented with severe inspiratory stridor as a result of obstruction of the major airways. An unusual feature of the second case was unilateral glandular enlargement. This produced such severe obstruction that mechanical dilatation was necessary to relieve the dyspnoea.

متن کاملPericardial sarcoidosis presenting as PUO diagnosed on FDG PET CT scan
Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) is a common problem in day-to-day practice. FDG PET CT is an established investigation that aids in identifying the cause of PUO. Due to its high sensitivity PET detects an occult hypermetabolic focus in the body where CT helps in anatomical localization, vascularity, enhancement characteristics of the lesion detected on PET. It helps to differentiate benign vers...
