Abstract

Background: Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease histologically defined by the non-caseation granulomas formation in different organs, most commonly lungs, liver, skin, gastrointestinal system, eyes, neurologic and cardiac system Case presentation: We report the case of a 42-year-old Gilaks woman who presented with myelopathy with characteristic MRI finding called trident sign. By finding this view in axial spinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) imaging, a systemic evaluation was performed on the patient, which led to the diagnosis of cardiac involvement in Sarcoidosis with the specific appearance of this disease in cardiac MRI despite the negative Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Conclusions: Sometimes characteristic findings such as the trident sign prompt the physician to high suspicion and wide evaluation of the patient to reveal important organ involvement that changes the treatment decision and saves the patient. © 2023, The Author(s).
