Superficial Siderosis of the Central Nervous System (SS-CNS): A Mimic of Motor Neurone Disease (P6-4.003)

Superficial siderosis of the central nervous(SS-CNS) is a rare condition caused by haemosiderin deposition along the subpial surfaces of the brain and spinal cord secondary to chronic bleeding in the subarachnoid space. We present the case of a patient who was diagnosed with SS-CNS secondary to trauma from previous spinal surgery and which mimicked motor neurone disease.
