Abstract Background Pulmonary hemosiderosis is a rare disease that may be idiopathic or have secondary etiology, such as mitral stenosis. The clinical and functional consequence of iron overload in the lungs form hemosiderin. diagnosis should considered patients with miliary nodules on chest tomography. Case presentation We report case 30-year-old man severe stenosis who presented pain dyspnea....

Conjugated-Schiff's-base-type fluorescence was measured in iron-depleted samples and chloroform extracts of human spleen haemosiderin. Incubation of ferritin with liposomes and ascorbate led to the formation of compounds with similar fluorescence properties. Analysis of protein subunits by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis confirmed that ferritin was damaged in incubations with ascorbate. ...

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 70-year-old man presented with slow gait and a clumsy hand on the right side. Neurological examination revealed dystonia ideomotor apraxia in hand. mask-like face, rigidity arm, shuffling were noticed. Treatment L-dopa had no effect. He was clinically diagnosed corticobasal syndrome (CBS). Susceptibility-weighted images of brain magnetic resonance imaging showed low-intensity areas surface ce...

and dysmorphic red blood cell casts. A quantitative serum pregnancy test was positive. Bronchoalveolar lavage retrieved blood-tinged fluid, numerous red blood cells and hemosiderin-laden macrophages but few neutrophils. Microbiology studies for bacteria, mycobacteria and fungi in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were negative. Perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA) with spec...

Three middle-aged male patients had painless superior temporal orbital tumor causing globe displacement. Roentgenograms revealed superior temporal orbital tumor with lysis of bone. Surgical excision and curettage completely removed the lesions, which extended from the frontal bone to the periorbita and the dura. Histologically, these were cystic lesions containing a granulomatous reaction to bl...

GGB from spleen and cardiac myxoma can be detected on image studies, mainly using magnetic resonance. They are seen as small nodules of decreased signal intensity.[4] Virtual colonography with either computed tomography or magnetic resonance is being used for the evaluation of colorectal polyps so it is interesting to transmit to radiologists the possibility of finding GGB in these lesions.[5] ...
