Coexistence of Sjögren’s Syndrome and sarcoidosis (Heerfordt Syndrome)
2013Co-Authors: Abdullah Şimşek, Fatma Irem Yesiler, Sema Canbakan, Arzu Ertürk, Nermin ÇapanAbstract:Individuals with sarcoidosis can exhibit clinical features similar to those of Sjogren’s Syndrome. Several literature evidence suggest a true coexistence of the two diseases. In this study, we report a case of coexisting sarcoidosis and Sjogren’s Syndrome.

a case of incomplete Heerfordt Syndrome accompanied by dysosmia
Practica oto-rhino-laryngologica, 1997Co-Authors: Hiroyuki Fujita, Fumihisa Hiraide, Atsushi Kawano, Kotaro Muto, Kouji Yoshiura, Akira Hagiwara, Yasuo Ogawa, Shinya OhashiAbstract:Heerfordt Syndrome, a subtype of sarcoidosis, is characterized by uveitis, swelling of the parotid glands, facial paralysis and low grade fever. In this study we describe a patient with incomplete Heerfordt Syndrome who had three of these key symptoms (all except uveitis), with additional symptoms of dysosmia and rashes on the legs. Pathological study of the parotid glands and the rash on the legs revealed non-caseous granulomas and Langerhans' giant cells. Facial paralysis was resolved before starting the treatment and other symptoms were improved with the systemic administration of steroids. As dysosmia results from impairment of the central nervous system, this suggests that sarcoids infiltrate from the meninges to the olfactory nerve.

Heerfordt Syndrome: a cause of facial paralysis.
The Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society, 1990Co-Authors: Bopp Fp, Cheney Ml, Donzis Pb, White Ja, Reed HtAbstract:Heerfordt Syndrome is an unusual manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis and is characterized by parotitis, uveitis, and facial nerve paralysis. A case is presented and the clinical manifestations are discussed. Angiotensin converting enzyme assays along with tissue biopsy demonstrating noncaseating granulomas confirm the diagnosis.

progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy developed in incomplete Heerfordt Syndrome a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis without steroid therapy responding to cidofovir
Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2010Co-Authors: Takuya Yagi, Hidenori Hattori, Masayuki Ohira, Kazuo Nakamichi, Mutsuyo Takayamaito, Masayuki Saijo, Toshihiko Shimizu, Kazushi Takahashi, Norihiro SuzukiAbstract:Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by the JC virus; the mortality rate is high and it is usually refractory to treatment. In non-HIV patients, PML occurs as a late consequence of hematologic malignancies or during prolonged immunosuppression for transplantation or autoimmune disease. We describe a 34-year-old PML patient with incomplete Heerfordt Syndrome, a rare type of sarcoidosis, who had not received any immunosuppressants, including steroids, at the onset and who was clinically and radiologically responsive to the antiviral drug cidofovir.
