Superficial Siderosis of the CNS Associated with Multiple Cavernous Malformations AJNR 20:1245-1248, Whu,W.C.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Superficial siderosis of the CNS due to chronic, recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage is an uncommon and potentially debilitating disorder. The classic clinical manifestation is progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), althoug h ataxia and pyramidal signs also are observed frequently. Cavernous malformations rarely present with subarachnoid hemorrhage. We describe an unusual case of a young patient who presented with progressive, bilateral SNHL who was found to have superfici al CNS siderosis associated with multiple cavernous malformations.
