The authors report a case of cerebral siderosis, a rare disease that generally follows multiple small episodes of subarachnoid hemorrhage from any source, following long-term anticoagulation and minor head injury, and document the features on MR, which demonstrates characteristic hypointensity in the meninges on T2-weighted scans.
