Neurosarcoidosis can have variable clinical manifestations. Intracerebral bleeding is very rare in the setting of neurosarcoidosis and has been reported only twice. In this report, we describe a patient with neurosarcoidosis who had intracerebral bleeding while on corticosteroid therapy, despite apparent clinical improvement.
