Superficial siderosis is a rare condition caused by deposition of hemosiderin in the central nervous system. In recent years, it has been used to identify dural defects connecting the intrathecal space with the intraspinal fluid-filled collection seen in patients with superficial siderosis. However
A 13-year-old boy with superficial siderosis of the central nervous system was reported. There were many members, including the proband, with sensory high tone hearing loss in his maternal family, but they did not have other neurological symptoms. Paroxysmal and pulsatile severe headache, and
A source of bleeding is often not evident during the evaluation of patients with superficial siderosis of the CNS despite extensive imaging. An intraspinal fluid-filled collection of variable dimensions is frequently observed on spine MR imaging in patients with idiopathic superficial siderosis. A
Almost 95 cases of superficial siderosis of the central nervous system have been reported in the literature. These patients showed a clinical syndrome characterized by ataxia, deafness, pyramidal system involvement, and mental deterioration with xanthochromic cerebrospinal fluid and
Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system results from deposition of hemosiderin in the subpial layers of the brain and spinal cord. Patients usually present after 40 years of age with progressive ataxia and sensorineural hearing impairment. We present the case of a twelve-year-old boy who
Superficial siderosis (SS) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by persistent or intermittent bleeding into the subarachnoid space. It leads to characteristic clinical and radiographic findings. Dural pathology is believed to be the most common identifiable etiology of SS. It
A 64-year-old male developed headache, dizziness, and difficulty hearing, two years after an operation for chronic subdural hematoma due to head injury. These symptoms gradually worsened over the following 15 years. As he showed bloody cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and marginal hypointensity on the
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension due to a spinal CSF leak has become a well-recognized cause of headaches, but such spinal CSF leaks also are found in approximately half of patients with superficial siderosis of the CNS. It has been hypothesized that friable vessels at the site of the spinal CSF
A case of superficial siderosis that appeared in a case of suprasellar embryonal carcinoma is reported. A 24-year-old man presented polydipsia and vertigo. MRI revealed a suprasellar tumor. The tumor contained high intense spots on T1-weighted images, suggesting intratumoral hemorrhage. He underwent
Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is a very rare disease related to hemosiderin deposits in the brain, brainstem, cerebellum and spinal cord due to chronic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Chronic increased intracranial pressure develops in about one-third of affected cases. We report a
BACKGROUND
Spinal cavernous malformations usually affect the vertebral bodies and are seldom intradural. Here, we report a rare spinal intradural-extramedullary cavernous malformation associated with extensive superficial siderosis along the neuraxis in a patient with radicular complaints.
METHODS
A
Superficial siderosis is a rare condition caused by hemosiderin deposits in the central nervous system (CNS) due to prolonged or recurrent low-grade bleeding into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CNS tumor could be one of the sources of bleeding, both pre- and postoperatively. We report an extremely
A 36-year-old man with progressive hearing impairment visited our hospital complaining of a severe headache. A neurological examination revealed bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment, mild ataxia, hyperreflexia and mild cognitive dysfunction. Brain MRI demonstrated hydrocephalus and typical
