Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 undiagnosed in spite of extensive neuroradiological work up.

Superficial Siderosis (SS) is a rare neurological condition which results from hemosiderin deposition on the leptomeninges, subpial and ependymal surfaces of the central nervous system (CNS). Patients commonly present with the classic triad of hearing loss, cerebellar ataxia and pyramidal signs. We report clinical, radiological and pathological findings in a patient with SS due to chronic haemo...
