Abstract

There was presented a clinical case of a patient with superficial siderosis of the central nervous system. The presence of the clinical triad (sensorineural hearing loss, cerebellar ataxia, pyramidal symptoms), a progressive course of the disease and characteristic neuroimaging features (MRI in T2-gradient echo and SWI - Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging - MRI images, weighted by the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field) in the form of hemosiderin deposits has allowed to establish the diagnosis.
