Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system.
We report five cases of superficial siderosis of the central nervous system. All patients developed progressive deafness and cerebellar ataxia associated with pyramidal tract signs or mental deterioration. The cerebrospinal fluid examinations usually revealed an elevated protein level, without other abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging typically showed a hypointense rim around the cerebral...
متن کاملSuperficial siderosis of the central nervous system: A case report
Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is secondary to chronic subarachnoid bleeding. However, the underlying etiology is not always detected. Superficial siderosis can be diagnosed at MRI by the presence of a hypointense rim along the brain surface on gradient echo T2W images. The authors report a case of superficial cerebral siderosis where the underlying etiology remained undiag...
متن کاملSuperficial siderosis of central nervous system of unknown cause.
A 44-year-old man with a past medical history unremarkable presented with a 4-month evolution of progressive cognitive deterioration , deafness and unsteady gait. Initial neurological examination revealed mild cognitive impairment, dysarthria, cerebellar ataxia with wide-based unsteady gait and bilateral sensorineural hypoacusia. Laboratory serum analysis was unre-markable, including vitamin B1...
متن کاملCentral nervous system magnetic resonance imaging aspects of superficial siderosis.
A 68-year-old man was evaluated with progressive gait difficulties, first noticed three years before. Neurological examination disclosed paraparetic spastic gait and lower limbs hyperreflexia with bilateral Babinski sign; mild left upper limb cerebellar ataxia; and left hearing loss. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed rims of hypointensity on T2 around the brainstem, cerebellum, and sp...
متن کاملThe importance of suspecting superficial siderosis of the central nervous system in clinical practice.
Once the central nervous system surface is greatly encrusted with haemosiderin, even removing the source of bleeding will have little effect on the progression of clinical deterioration. Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is rare and insidious, but magnetic resonance imaging has turned a previously late, mainly autoptical diagnosis into an easy, specific, in vivo, and possibly ...
