Infratentorial superficial siderosis due to a spinal dural tear.
Pract Neurol
January 2025
Neurology, St John of God Midland Public and Private Hospitals, Midland, Western Australia, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Infratentorial superficial siderosis (iSS) is a neurological disorder caused by iron deposits on the brain and spinal cord due to ongoing bleeding.
- This condition often leads to symptoms like hearing loss, balance issues, and problems with coordination and movement.
- The article emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose and manage the complex challenges associated with iSS effectively.
MRI-Based Prediction of Macrovascular Causes of Intracerebral Hemorrhage: The MACRO Score.

Article Synopsis
- A significant portion of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) arise from macrovascular causes, necessitating a swift diagnosis, often through invasive procedures like digital subtraction angiography (DSA), which aren't suitable for all patients.
- This study aimed to develop a new risk stratification score, the MACRO score, incorporating MRI findings to improve the identification of macrovascular causes of ICH.
- The MACRO score successfully incorporates various patient factors and MRI markers, demonstrating better predictive capabilities than current CT-based scores, validating its effectiveness in a diverse patient population.
Regional Reliability of Combining CT Angiography-source Image and Non-contrast CT in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Int J Med Sci
October 2024
Department of Radiology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing 400042, China.
CT angiography-source image (CTA-SI) can be used as an effective alternative to diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for identifying acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study investigates the reliability of combining CTA-SI with non-contrast CT (NCCT) for AIS diagnosis, with a focus on how different brain areas affect diagnostic accuracy. Patients with various subtypes of AIS who underwent NCCT, CTA, and DWI from January to December 2022 were included.

Article Synopsis
- - Superficial siderosis is a rare neurodegenerative disease caused by the buildup of hemosiderin in the brain due to ongoing bleeding in the subarachnoid space, often following older cranio-spinal injuries or surgeries.
- - There are three main types of superficial siderosis, with symptoms including progressive ataxia and deafness; early diagnosis is crucial to prevent severe complications requiring surgery.
- - The case series focuses on showcasing both acute and chronic effects of superficial siderosis, highlighting unique imaging signs that aid in early detection and timely treatment.
