Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system (CNS) is caused by repeated hemorrhage into the subarachnoid space with resultant hemosiderin deposition in the subpial layers of the brain and spinal cord. Progressive ataxia and hearing impairment are the most common manifestations of the
OBJECTIVE
Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is characterized by accumulation of haemosiderin in the subpial layers of the brain and spinal cord. The evidence largely suggests a retro-cochlear cause for hearing loss with questionable involvement of cochlea. We present our experience
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
A 35-year old man with cough, hemoptysis, and dyspnea was found to have diffuse pulmonary infiltrates and iron-laden macrophages in the sputum. Pulmonary siderosis was confirmed by transbronchial biopsy. An associated hypochromic anemia required frequent transfusion. Though marrow iron stores were
We report the case of a 38-year-old man with gait disorder and hearing loss. The patient had developed gait disorder due to a cervical meningioma since 4 year-old disappeared for 15 years after the surgical removal of the meningioma. However, at the age of 21 year-old, the gait disorder reappeared
Objective: Sneddon's syndrome is a rare non-inflammatory arteriopathy affecting small and medium-sized arteries, characterized by a generalized livedo reticularis and recurrent transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke was reported in limited cases, but microbleeds and
Cortical superficial siderosis (cSS), also referred to as sulcal siderosis, is a neurological condition characterized by hemosiderin subpial deposits in the cortical sulci over the convexities of cerebral hemispheres. These deposits are further found sparingly in the spinal cord, brainstem, and
Superficial siderosis is a rare disease resulting from the deposited hemosiderin owing to repeated subarachnoid hemorrhage. It has been reported that hemosiderin deposits on the brain surface and brain parenchyma causes nerve disorder, resulting in progressive and irreversible hearing loss,
OBJECTIVE
Systematic studies of superficial siderosis (SS) and convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) in patients with suspected cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) without lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are lacking. We sought to determine the potential anatomic correlation between SS/cSAH and
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
Cortical superficial siderosis (cSS) is an increasingly recognized MR-imaging marker most probably caused by focal convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). There is accumulating evidence that cSS represents an important risk factor for subsequent intracranial hemorrhages. Here, we aimed to determine
Surgical options for pediatric patients with marked dysfunction of a single epileptogenic hemisphere have evolved over time. Complications resulting from highly resective operations such as anatomical hemispherectomy, including superficial siderosis and secondary hydrocephalus, have led to the
We present the case of a 71-year-old male, admitted after a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, with a history of recurrent left arm and face paresthesias, associated with sulcal cortical subarachnoid hemorrhages. During the next 48 h, he remained agitated with a high blood pressure profile; he also
When most doctors encounter older patients with transient focal neurological symptoms, they usually suspect a diagnosis of transient ischemic attacks or some of their known mimics (including migraine auras or focal seizures). This article emphasizes new observations on transient focal neurological
