摘要
We present 2 cases of superficial siderosis of the central nervous system secondary to chronic subarachnoid bleeding. The diagnosis was made with MR and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination. MR showed, in T2-weighted images, superficial hypointensity of the cervical cord, brainstem, cerebellum, and basal cisterns due to hemosiderin deposits. CSF was xanthochromic, with increased protein content. In 1 of the 2 cases also the CT examination was positive, showing a hyperdense rim around the brainstem. A complete neuroradiological evaluation (MR, CT, angiography and myelography) did not permit to detect the source of the bleeding.
