Haematogenous spread occurs to the brain parenchyma or leptomeninges and can result in meningitis, abscess or granuloma formation and infarction [27].

The term superficial siderosis is used to describe the haemosiderin deposition on the surface of the brain, spinal cord, brainstem and cranial nerve leptomeninges following recurrent subarachnoid haemorrhage.
