Cognitive and Social Impairments in Patients with superficial siderosis

Superficial siderosis of the CNS is a rare condition, caused
by deposition of haemosiderin in the superficial layers
of the CNS due to repeated chronic subarachnoid or intraventricular

especially the cerebellum, are most affected. There
is a surprising lack of studies investigating in detail the
behavioral functioning of patients with such a condition.
In this study, we document for the first time the cognitive,
social and emotional processing of six patients with a
confirmed clinical diagnosis of superficial siderosis
