Superficial 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 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 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 کاملSuperficial Siderosis of the Central Nervous System Originating from the Thoracic Spine: A Case Report
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 ...
متن کامل[A case of superficial siderosis of the central nervous system with total deafness].
Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system (SSCN) in a disease characterized by chronic deposition of hemosiderin in the leptomeninges, subpial tissue, spinal cord, and cranial nerves. Previously the diagnosis of SSCN could only be made at autopsy or during a neurosurgical procedure. Now, however, a diagnosis of SSCN can be made non-invasively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We pr...
