Superficial siderosis (SS) of central nervous system is a rare and slowly progressive disease. It results from hemosiderin deposition in the subpial layers of the brain and spinal cord. The typical clinical presentation of SS includes progressive sensorineural hearing impairment, cerebellar ataxia, pyramidal dysfunction and dementia.[1] We present an unusual case of SS caused by a spinal myxopapillary ependymoma presenting with visual impairment mimicking idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
