(Fig. 25.1). Hemosiderosis is also readily apparent on MRI. Thus, the hemosiderin staining of the surrounding cortex can be helpful for localization of CMs during resection. Within the lesion there is no intervening brain parenchyma. Blood in the caverns may be of various ages depending upon ...
The amount ofhemosiderinin the body is about one-half of the total body storage iron. It contains more iron than ferritin (30 versus 23%), and it forms granules large enough to be seen with the light microscope. Hemosiderin appears as a dark yellowish brown pigment. After staining with Pru...
