AbstractSarcoidosis has a multitude of manifestations and affects the human body widely. Pulmonary complaints are most common; however, cardiac, optic, and neurologic manifestations carry high mortality and morbidity. Acute presentations in the emergency room can cause life-altering effects if not appropriately diagnosed and treated. Generally, less severe cases of sarcoidosis have a favorable prognosis and can be treated with steroid therapy. Resistant and more severe cases of the disease carry high mortality and morbidity. It is incredibly important to arrange specialty follow-up for these patients when needed. This review focuses on the acute presentations of sarcoidosis.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
