Abstract
BACKGROUND: Neurosarcoidosis is often a devastating, refractory condition without definite pharmacotherapies beyond corticosteroids. AIM: To describe a case of steroid-refractory neurosarcoidosis with a marked clinical and radiological response to infliximab. METHODS: We describe the case of a young female patient with biopsy-proven neurosarcoidosis leading to gait failure. She described significant corticosteroid-related side effects without clinical response to the therapy. Infliximab therapy was considered as a possible rescue medication. RESULTS: Within months of starting intravenous infliximab therapy, she regained her ability to walk and magnetic resonance imaging identified significant improvements over a sustained course of infliximab therapy, including loss of enhancing nodules and loss of meningeal enhancement. CONCLUSION: Mounting evidence suggests that infliximab is a valuable pharmacological agent in the management of patients with refractory and disabling neurosarcoidosis. Controlled studies of infliximab in this condition are needed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
