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 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 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 کاملNeuropathic pain after brachial plexus avulsion - central and peripheral mechanisms
REVIEW The pain that commonly occurs after brachial plexus avulsion poses an additional burden on the quality of life of patients already impaired by motor, sensory and autonomic deficits. Evidence-based treatments for the pain associated with brachial plexus avulsion are scarce, thus frequently leaving the condition refractory to treatment with the standard methods used to manage neuropathic p...
