Vestibular function in superficial siderosis
Vestibular deficits due to SS have rarely been reported
in the otolaryngological literature because early reports
noted the selective deposition of hemosiderin around
the CNS and/or the 8th nerve in contact with the
cerebrospinal fluid, most notably the cerebellum, brainstem,
lining of the ventricles, and spinal cord [1,4].
These deposits around CNS structures and/or the 8th
nerve were considered to be the changes most responsible
for the disequilibrium of SS.
