T2-weighted axial brain magnetic resonance imaging (A) and whole spine T2-weighted sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (B) showing a rim of dark signal intensity along the superficial surface of the brain stem and spinal cord, suggesting hemosiderosis. Positron emission tomography using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose revealed normal metabolism in both cerebellar hemispheres (C).
