Cortical Superficial Siderosis

Introduction: Cortical superficial siderosis (cSS) refers to deposition of blood breakdown products along the cerebral cortex, causing characteristic staining patterns seen with iron-sensitive MRI techniques. Cortical superficial siderosis is a relatively rare disorder, but has been linked to cerebral amyloid angiopathy and Alzheimer’s disease. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and natural history of cSS in the general elderly population. Methods: MRI scans from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging (MCSA), an ongoing population-based study of elderly residents in Olmsted County, Minnesota, were reviewed by neuroradiologists. Participants with cSS were identified based on linear pattern of hypointensity on gradient recalled echo imaging consistent with cSS. Exclusion criteria were: 1) MRI findings not consistent with cSS or 2) alternative explanation for MRI findings (such as aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial surgery, or trauma). Additional data abstracted included extent of cSS, presence of cerebral microbleeds, and clinical outcome. Results: Eleven out of 1,441 participants had MRI scans showing cSS (0.8%). When stratified by age, the frequency was 0.4% in those 50 to 70 years old and 1.1% in those over 70 years old. Six participants had only focal involvement of cSS (restricted to three or fewer sulci) and five had disseminated involvement (affecting more than three sulci). Microbleeds were seen in four of five (80%) participants with disseminated cSS, but none with focal cSS. Five participants (2 focal, 3 disseminated cSS) had follow up MRI scans, with an average follow up of 25 months. There was no further hemorrhage in those with focal cSS. However, all three participants with disseminated cSS experienced additional hemorrhage: one with new microbleeds, one with new microbleeds and lobar hemorrhage, and one with sulcal subarachnoid hemorrhage and lobar hemorrhage. Conclusion: Although rare, cSS may be encountered in the general elderly population. Extent of involvement of cSS and concomitant microbleeds may be important risk factors for progression of disease and intracerebral hemorrhage. The clinical significance of focal cSS occurring in the absence of microbleeds requires further investigation.

ObjectiveTo assess the association of cortical superficial siderosis (cSS) presence and extent with future bleeding risk in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).MethodsThis was a meta-analysis of clinical cohorts of symptomatic patients with CAA who had T2*-MRI at baseline and clinical follow-up for future intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We pooled data in a 2-stage meta-analysis using random effects models. Covariate-adjusted hazard ratios (adjHR) from multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used.ResultsWe included data from 6 eligible studies (n = 1,239). cSS pooled prevalence was 34% (95% confidence interval [CI] 26%–41%; I2 87.94%; p < 0.001): focal cSS prevalence was 14% (95% CI 12%–16%; I2 6.75%; p = 0.37), and disseminated cSS prevalence was 20% (95% CI 13%–26%; I2 90.39%; p < 0.001). During a mean follow-up of 3.1 years (range 1–4 years), 162/1,239 patients experienced a symptomatic ICH-pooled incidence rate 6.9% per year (95% CI 3.9%–9.8% per year; I2 83%; p < 0.001). ICH incidence rates per year according to cSS status were 3.9% (95% CI 1.7%–6.1%; I2 70%; p = 0.018) for patients without cSS, 11.1% (95% CI 7%–15.2%; I2 56.8%; p = 0.074) for cSS presence, 9.1% (95% CI 5.5%–12.8%; I2 0%; p = 0.994) for focal cSS, and 12.5% (95% CI 5.3%–19.7%; I2 73.2%; p = 0.011) for disseminated cSS. In adjusted pooled analysis, any cSS presence was independently associated with increased future ICH risk (adjHR 2.14; 95% CI 1.19–3.85; p < 0.0001). Focal cSS was linked with ICH risk (adjHR 2.11; 95% CI 1.31–2.41; p = 0.002), while disseminated cSS conferred the strongest bleeding risk (adjHR 4.28; 95% CI 2.91–6.30; p < 0.0001).ConclusionIn patients with CAA, cSS presence and extent are the most important MRI prognostic risk factors for future ICH, likely useful in treatment planning.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class III evidence that in symptomatic CAA survivors with baseline T2*-MRI, cSS (particularly if disseminated, i.e., affecting >3 sulci) increases the risk of future ICH.

Abstract Background The key imaging features of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are lobar, cortical, or cortico-subcortical microbleeds, macrohaemorrhages and cortical superficial siderosis (cSS). In contrast, hypertensive angiopathy is characterized by (micro) haemorrhages in the basal ganglia, thalami, periventricular white matter or the brain stem. Another distinct form of haemorrhagic microangiopathy is mixed cerebral microbleeds (mixed CMB) with features of both CAA and hypertensive angiopathy. The distinction between the two entities (CAA and mixed CMB) is clinically relevant because the risk of haemorrhage and stroke should be well balanced if oral anticoagulation is indicated in CAA patients. We aimed to comprehensively compare these two entities. Methods Patients with probable CAA according to the modified Boston criteria and mixed CMB without macrohaemorrhage were retrospectively identified from our database. Comprehensive comparison regarding clinical and radiological parameters was performed between the two cohorts. Results Patients with CAA were older (78 ± 8 vs. 74 ± 9 years, p = 0.036) and had a higher prevalence of cSS (19% vs. 4%, p = 0.027) but a lower prevalence of lacunes (73% vs. 50%, p = 0.018) and deep lacunes (23% vs. 51%, p = 0.0003) compared to patients with mixed CMB. Logistic regression revealed an association between the presence of deep lacunes and mixed CMB. The other collected parameters did not reveal a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions CAA and mixed CMB demonstrate radiological differences in the absence of macrohaemorrhages. However, more clinically available biomarkers are needed to elucidate the contribution of CAA and hypertensive angiopathy in mixed CMB patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence, predictors, and clinical relevance of cortical superficial siderosis (cSS) progression in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).MethodsConsecutive patients with symptomatic CAA meeting Boston criteria in a prospective cohort underwent baseline and follow-up MRI within 1 year. cSS progression was evaluated on an ordinal scale and categorized into mild (score 1–2 = cSS extension within an already present cSS focus or appearance of 1 new cSS focus) and severe progression (score 3–4 = appearance of ≥2 new cSS foci). Binominal and ordinal multivariable logistic regression were used to determine cSS progression predictors. We investigated future lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) risk in survival analysis models.ResultsWe included 79 patients with CAA (mean age, 69.2 years), 56 (71%) with lobar ICH at baseline. cSS progression was detected in 23 (29%) patients: 15 (19%) patients had mild and 8 (10%) severe progression. In binominal multivariable logistic regression, ICH presence (odds ratio [OR], 7.54; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.75–53.52; p = 0.016) and baseline cSS (OR, 10.41; 95% CI, 2.84–52.83; p = 0.001) were independent predictors of cSS progression. In similar models, presence of disseminated (but not focal) cSS at baseline (OR, 5.58; 95% CI, 1.81–19.41; p = 0.004) was an independent predictor of cSS progression. Results were similar in ordinal multivariable logistic regression models. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, severe cSS progression was independently associated with increased future ICH risk (HR, 5.90; 95% CI, 1.30–26.68; p = 0.021).ConclusionscSS evolution on MRI is common in patients with symptomatic CAA and might be a potential biomarker for assessing disease severity and future ICH risk. External validation of these findings is warranted.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether acute convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) associated with acute lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) increases the risk of ICH recurrence in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).MethodsWe analyzed data from a prospective cohort of consecutive survivors of acute spontaneous lobar ICH fulfilling the Boston criteria for possible or probable CAA (CAA-ICH). We analyzed baseline clinical and MRI data, including cSAH (categorized as adjacent or remote from ICH on a standardized scale), cortical superficial siderosis (cSS), and other CAA MRI markers. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to assess the association between cSAH and recurrent symptomatic ICH during follow-up.ResultsWe included 261 CAA-ICH survivors (mean age 76.2 ± 8.7 years). Of them, 166 (63.6%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 57.7%–69.5%) had cSAH on baseline MRI. During a median follow-up of 28.3 (interquartile range 7.2–57.0) months, 54 (20.7%) patients experienced a recurrent lobar ICH. In Cox regression, any cSAH, adjacent cSAH, and remote cSAH were independent predictors of recurrent ICH after adjustment for other confounders, including cSS. Incidence rate of recurrent ICH in patients with cSAH was 9.9 per 100 person-years (95% CI 7.3–13.0) compared with 1.2 per 100 person-years (95% CI 0.3–3.2) in those without cSAH (adjusted hazard ratio 7.5, 95% CI 2.6–21.1).ConclusionIn patients with CAA-related acute ICH, cSAH (adjacent or remote from lobar ICH) is commonly observed and heralds an increased risk of recurrent ICH. cSAH may help stratify bleeding risk and should be assessed along with cSS for prognosis and clinical management.

Objective:In order to explore the mechanisms of cortical superficial siderosis (cSS) multifocality and its clinical implications for recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) risk in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), we used a new rating method that we developed specifically to evaluate cSS extent at spatially separated foci.Methods:Consecutive patients with CAA-related ICH according to Boston criteria from a single-center prospective cohort were analyzed. The new score that assesses cSS multifocality (total range 0–4) showed excellent interrater reliability (k = 0.87). The association of cSS with markers of CAA and acute ICH was investigated. Patients were followed prospectively for recurrent symptomatic ICH.Results:The cohort included 313 patients with CAA. Multifocal cSS prevalence was 21.1%. APOE ε2 allele prevalence was higher in patients with multifocal cSS. In probable/definite CAA, cSS multifocality was independently associated with neuroimaging markers of CAA severity, including lobar microbleeds, but not with acute ICH features, which conversely, were determinants of cSS in possible CAA. During a median follow-up of 2.6 years (interquartile range 0.9–5.1 years), the annual ICH recurrence rates per cSS scores (0–4) were 5%, 6.5%, 13.5%, 16.2%, and 26.9%, respectively. cSS multifocality (presence and spread) was the only independent predictor of increased symptomatic ICH risk (hazard ratio 3.19; 95% confidence interval 1.77–5.75; p < 0.0001).Conclusions:The multifocality of cSS correlates with disease severity in probable CAA; therefore cSS is likely to be caused by discrete hemorrhagic foci. The new cSS scoring system might be valuable for clinicians in determining annual risk of ICH recurrence.
