Abstract
A 43-year-old woman presented with peripheral facial palsy and bilateral anterior uveitis. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis was established by an elevated serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level, hilar adenopathy on chest x-ray film, restrictive ventilatory impairment on pulmonary function testing, and a transbronchial biopsy specimen showing noncaseating epithelioid granulomas with Langhans giant cells. A complete ophthalmic examination is important in patients with peripheral facial palsies to search for signs of systemic disease.
