Superficial siderosis is a rare disease of the central nervous system. It is
caused by hemosiderin deposition usually following subarachnoid hemorrhage. We
report a 67-year-old man with history of motor vehicle accident in 1974 who
presents with tremors, worsening ataxia, and impaired auditory, olfactory, and
gustatory sensation. The patient was evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging of
the brain that showed areas of superficial low T2 signal throughout the posterior
fossa, ventricles, sulci, and cisterns, most conspicuous on the gradient-recalled
echo T2* susceptibility-weighted sequence. These findings are compatible with old
blood products (hemosiderin) and the diagnosis of superficial siderosis.
