Superficial siderosis (SS) of the central nervous system is a rare disorder caused by chronic or recurrent hemorrhages into subarachnoid space, and subsequent deposition hemosiderin in subpial layers brain spinal cord lead to development neuronal damage. The diagnosis SS typically made imaging management may include identifying treating underlying cause bleeding, as well symptomatic treatment. ...

A 53-year-old woman with superficial siderosis underwent spinal MR imaging, which demonstrated a large cervicothoracic epidural fluid collection compatible with a CSF leak. Conventional and dynamic CT myelography failed to localize the dural tear because of rapid equilibration of myelographic contrast between the thecal sac and the extradural collection. The superior temporal resolution of digi...

Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system(SSCNS) is a rare disease characterized by hemosiderin deposition on the surface of the central nervous system. We report a case of SSCNS originating from the thoracic spine, presenting with neurological deficits including, sensorineuronal hearing loss, ataxia, and corticospinal and dorsal column tract signs. The patient underwent dural repair ...
