Prevalence of infratentorial superficial siderosis in a large general population sample from the UK Biobank
This is the first study to estimate iSS prevalence in the UK population. The prevalence of iSS is higher than that reported for other rare neurological and neuro-otological disorders, suggesting an important unmet healthcare need for early diagnosis and targeted management strategies. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical associations and prognostic significance of radiologically defined iSS in the general population.
