Gradient-echo T2-weighted MRI shows a rim of hypointensity around multiple fronto-parieto-occipital sulci, consistent with cortical superficial siderosis.
Case Discussion
Cortical superficial siderosis results from haemosiderin deposition in the subpial layers of the brain, as in this case.
Many causes of cortical superficial siderosis must be considered as meningeal pathology, tumours, trauma, and history of surgery.
