This iron toxicity can cause various problems, including myocardial siderosis and heart failure leading to the patient s death.
2.
The number of reported cases of superficial siderosis has increased with advances in MRI technology, but it remains a rare disease.
3.
Detection is complicated by the fact that superficial siderosis is a rare disease and is not well described in neurological texts, so it may go unnoticed until noticeable symptoms appear.
4.
DFP was also found to be significantly more effective than deferoxamine in treating myocardial siderosis in patients with thalassemia major : DFP is thought to improve the function of mitochondria in the heart by accessing and redistributing labile iron in cardiac cells.
5.
Superficial siderosis is largely considered a rare disease, with less than 270 total reported cases in scientific literature as of 2006, and affects people of a wide range of ages with men being approximately three times more frequently affected than women.
6.
Early detection of superficial siderosis is usually via MRI . The iron deposition that is characteristic of superficial siderosis shows up as a hypointense band in affected tissues, with a characteristic rim of intensity appearing on the cerebellum; a hyperintense rim is rarely seen.
