  • Title: Superficial Siderosis of Central Nervous System as Primary Clinical Manifestation Secondary to Intradural Thoracic Disk Herniation.
    Author: Wipplinger C, Simian A, Hernandez RN, Navarro-Ramirez R, Kim E, Kirnaz S, Schmidt FA, Fink ME, Härtl R.
    Journal: World Neurosurg; 2018 Nov; 119():40-44. PubMed ID: 30048787.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is a rare neurologic disorder characterized by the superficial deposition of hemosiderin in the subpial layer resulting in iron-related progressive neurodegeneration. CASE DESCRIPTION: In this report, we present a case of superficial siderosis of the central nervous system secondary to an intradural thoracic disk herniation causing a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. CONCLUSIONS: The patient was successfully treated with T6-T8 transpedicular partial corpectomy, as well as diskectomy with decompression followed by watertight closure of the CSF leak. Intraoperative watertight closure of the CSF leak was achieved.
