Hemochromatotic Pigmentation of the Central Nervous System

Cochlear implantation in superficial siderosis

“…This may expose the nerve to a larger amount of iron and haem. Macroscopically the proximal eighth nerve appears darkly pigmented and atrophic (Neuman, 1956;Koeppen and Dentinger, 1988). Distal to the glial-schwann cell junction the nerve is unaffected (Koeppen and Dentinger, 1988;Revesz et al, 1988).…”
