متن کاملSuperficial siderosis.
Case 1 An elderly patient presented with insidious onset of sensorineural hearing loss. The past history was unremarkable except for insidious onset of weakness of left lower limb. Physical examination revealed left hemiparesis with upgoing left plantar. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain revealed a large flow void in the interpeduncular cistern suggestive of aneurysm arising from the to...
متن کاملSpinal ependymoma presenting as subarachnoid hemorrhage and leading to superficial siderosis of the central nervous system: a case report
Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is a very uncommon disorder. We report a rare case of spinal ependymoma in a 58-year-old man whose main complaints at presentation were recent lumbago and headache, and he was evaluated to confirm suspected spinal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). After cerebrospinal fluid analysis and imaging studies the patient was diagnosed with SAH and superf...
متن کاملCervical Spinal Meningeal Melanocytoma Presenting as Intracranial Superficial Siderosis
Meningeal melanocytoma is a rare pigmented tumor of the leptomeningeal melanocytes. This rare entity results in diagnostic difficulty in imaging unless clinical and histopathology correlation is performed. In this case report, we describe a case of meningeal melanocytoma of the cervical region presenting with superficial siderosis. Extensive neuroradiological examination is necessary to locate ...
متن کاملSuperficial cortical siderosis.
Cerebrovascular deposition of amyloid (cerebral amyloid angiopathy CAA) is most commonly recognized as a cause of spontaneous lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. On the basis of the noninvasive new MR imaging we would propose superficial cortical hemosiderosis and subarachnoid hemosiderosis as potentially useful new criteria to facilitate the diagnosis of CAA.
