Superficial siderosis (SS) of the CNS is a rare disease caused by repeated hemorrhages in
the subarachnoid space. The subsequent deposition of hemosiderin in the brain and spinal …

Despite extensive imaging, a source of bleeding is often not evident during the evaluation of
patients with superficial siderosis (SS) of the central nervous system. An intraspinal fluid …

Background A 48-year-old man with a past history of a car-accident-induced coma at the

Introduction Superficial siderosis is a rare, neurodegenerative disease caused by toxic
accumulation of hemosiderin on the surface of the brain and the spinal cord, most commonly …

Neeraj Kumar, MD Superficial siderosis (SS) of the CNS results from hemosiderin deposition
in the subpial layers of the brain and spinal cord. 1–3 The hemosiderin deposition results …

We reviewed a 7-year series of brain MRI examinations to determine the frequency and
clinical significance of superficial siderosis of the central nervous system (SS). SS was …

Chronic or intermittent extravasations of blood into the subarachnoid space, and
dissemination of heme by circulating cerebrospinal fluid, are the only established causes of …

Once the central nervous system surface is greatly encrusted with haemosiderin, even
removing the source of bleeding will have little effect on the progression of clinical …

There have been 87 cases of superficial siderosis of the CNS reported in the world literature
and 63 cases had developed the clinical syndrome with sufficient details to be reviewed. It is …

Central nervous system infratentorial superficial siderosis (iSS) is increasingly detected by
blood‐sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences. Despite this, there are no …
