  • International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) Superficial Siderosis Following Trauma to the Cervical Spine: Case
    www.edoriumjournals.com CASE SERIES PEER REVIEWED | OPEN ACCESS Superficial siderosis following trauma to the cervical spine: Case series and review of literature Pranab Sinha, Sophie Jane Camp, Harith Akram, Robin Bhatia, Adrian Thomas Carlos Hickman Casey ABSTRACT Superficial siderosis is a rare progressive disease associated with chronic hemosiderin deposition on the surfaces of the central nervous system (CNS). It typically manifests clinically in sensorineural hearing loss, cerebellar ataxia, and pyramidal signs. Recurrent or continuous bleeding into the cerebrospinal fluid is implicated in the disease process. The magnetic resonance imaging gradient-echo T2-weighted images have high sensitivity for hemosiderin deposits that bathe the CNS, giving the characteristic black rimmed area of hypointensity apparent on these images. The natural history and its treatments are still not clearly defined in literature. Our report details the clinical course and management of three cases of superficial siderosis following either cervical spine or brachial plexus injury. All of them underwent surgical intervention. In two of the cases, positive cessation of the intradural bleeding was achieved through surgery but clinical and radiological improvement occurred in only one of the cases. One patient had a negative intradural exploration. To date, 30 cases of superficial siderosis reported in the literature have undergone surgical intervention. Cessation of disease progression or neurological improvement has been documented in 18 of these cases. Our cases reveal that patients with superficial siderosis often develop severe functional impairment due to the progressive nature of the disease. On balance, we are of the opinion that early craniospinal imaging and surgical exploration should be undertaken, at least to attempt to halt neurological deterioration.

Departments of Neurosurgery and Structural & Cellular Biology, Tulane University & Ochsner Clinic Neurosurgery Program, Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, USA Corresponding author: Stephen J. Bordes, [email protected] Abstract A 70-year-old African American male with a history of hypertension, congestive heart failure, breast cancer status-post six rounds of doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide, and Parkinson’s disease managed with carbidopa/levodopa presented to the emergency department with bilateral hearing loss and ataxia. The patient was admitted and evaluated for possible traumatic, oncological, and pharmacological etiologies. Further investigation revealed hypointensities along the cerebellar folia and basal cisterns on MRI in addition to the two-year history of progressive bilateral hearing loss and gait ataxia. In view of these findings, the patient was diagnosed with superficial siderosis and Parkinson’s medications were discontinued. Superficial siderosis should be considered as a diagnosis in cases of bilateral hearing loss and ataxia in patients with history of anticoagulation and risk factors for prior cerebrovascular accidents or head trauma. Categories: Internal Medicine, Neurology Keywords: superficial siderosis, parkinson’s disease, ataxia, bilateral hearing loss Introduction Superficial siderosis is a rare neurological disease associated with chronic subpial deposition of hemosiderin throughout the brain and spinal cord due to recurrent episodes of subarachnoid hemorrhage [1-9].

Likewise, lipids, which are essential components of cellular membranes and signaling mediators, must also be tightly regulated to hinder disease progression. Recent research, using a myriad of model organisms, as well as data from clinical studies, has revealed links between these two metabolic pathways, but the mechanisms behind these interactions and the role these have in the progression of human diseases remains unclear. In this review, we summarize literature describing cross-talk between iron and lipid pathways, including alterations in cholesterol, sphingolipid, and lipid droplet metabolism in response to changes in iron levels. We discuss human diseases correlating with both iron and lipid alterations, including neurodegenerative disorders, and the available evidence regarding the potential mechanisms underlying how iron may promote disease pathogenesis. Finally, we review research regarding iron reduction techniques and their therapeutic potential in treating patients with these debilitating conditions. We propose that iron-mediated alterations in lipid metabolic pathways are involved in the progression of these diseases, but further research is direly needed to elucidate the mechanisms involved.

Approach OPEN ACCESS Keywords Abhishek Bhardwaj*, Sudhagar Eswaran, and Hari Shankar • Ranula Niranjan • Submandibular gland Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Vardhmann Mahavir Medical College and • Pharynx Safdarjung Hospital, India • Skull Base • Neck Abstract Plunging ranula extending into parapharyngeal space till the skull base with associated absence of submandibular gland is a rare finding. Transcervical approach for its excision is a challenging procedure in view of limited exposure and presence of important neurovascular structures in the field. We present a clinical case of a left sided plunging ranula extending into the parapharyngeal space till skull base in a 19 year old male who presented to a tertiary care hospital with complaints of slowly increasing swelling in neck and oral cavity for duration of six months. Ultrasound neck revealed well defined heterogeneously hypoechoic collection in left submandibular region. Contrast enhanced computed tomography revealed a non-enhancing, cystic mass involving left submandibular space extending into left parapharyngeal space till skull base and absent left submandibular gland. Ranula measuring 10cm*6cm was excised in to by tanscervical approach without damage to any neurovascular structure. Histopathology was consistent with low ranula. Patient is in follow up for past six months without any recurrence.
