CORTICAL FOCAL HEMOSIDEROSIS: DESCRIPTION OF TWO CLINICAL CASES
https://doi.org/10.51922/1818-426X.2025.1.130
Abstract
Cortical focal hemosiderosis (CFS) is the deposition of iron metabolites, especially hemosiderin, in the superficial layers of the brain and/or spinal cord. Clinical manifestations in this disease depend on the location of the lesion, however, the deposition of hemosiderin may occur unnoticed. Common symptoms include hearing loss, cerebellar ataxia, pyramidal signs, dementia, urinary incontinence, disorders of the cranial nerves, sensory deficits.
Defects in the dura mater of the spinal cord, intracranial neoplasms, vascular abnormalities, related neurosurgical interventions, cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) can lead to the development of CFS. There is also idiopathic superficial siderosis.
While CFS is diagnosed, it is important to search for the causes of hemosiderosis to increase the quality of life and decrease mortality rates in the structure of patients. For example, CFS is one of the key criteria for the diagnosis of CAA. This type of angiopathy is closely associated with an increased risk of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages.
The article presents data on the clinical picture, diagnostic features, as well as the results of our own observation of two clinical cases of CFS.
