| Popis: | We report a case of superficial siderosis erroneously diagnosed as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The patient's symptoms began 18 years prior with unilateral upper extremity weakness, fasciculations, and hyperreflexia. The patient then developed ataxia and hearing loss 15 years after his original symptoms. The magnetic resonance images revealed superficial siderosis involving the spinal cord and brain. We want to attract attention to superficial siderosis as a rare amyotrophic lateral sclerosis mimic disorder. |
