Superficial Siderosis of the Central Nervous System: Case Reports and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Superficial siderosis (SS) is a rare, progressive neurotoxic disease caused by chronic or repeated subarachnoid hemorrhages, leading to hemosiderin deposition in the subpial layers of the brain and spinal cord. We aim to present two SS cases and review the literature. Both cases presented with progressive serebellar ataxia, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The diagnosis of SS was made by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the cranial and spinal cord in two cases and diagnosis of second case was confirmed by increased iron and ferritin level in the CSF. Clinical features of SS include progressive cerebellar, ataxia, dysarthria, sensorineural hearing loss, dementia, bladder disturbance, cranial neuropathy or myelopathy. Aim of our presentation is to emphasize that SS should be thought as a differential diagnosis in patient with ataxia, hearing loss or dementia and is to point out the importance of MR to diagnose of SS.
