Does anyone know what the risks are of CNS-Hemosideros. (traces of iron in the brain after a hemorrhage)?


Question:
Im 29, had a stroke 4 mos ago now I was diagnosed with CNS-HEMOSIDEROSIS (Iron traces in brain after cerebellum hemorhage - stroke.) I'm not sure what that means though and the doc @ the Hospital didn't tell me much because he said that I must talk to the Neurologist which he refered me to in order to get answers (which makes sense). I'm having a hard time finding a neurologist in my area and until I do find one, I just want to have a slight idea of what it means to have CNS-hemosiderosis.

Answers:
An iron disorder occurs when iron is out of balance in the human body.

Iron out of balance is any condition where iron in the body is free, (unbound)
and/or at an abnormal level, which occurs with iron overload, anemia and anemia of chronic disease.
Mismanaged iron in the brain is seen in those patients with neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer's, early onset Parkinson's, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington's disease.
