abstract in english:	Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the SWI sequence may improve the MRI evaluation of hemosiderin deposits in the brain. Case Report: We report a case of a 7-year-old girl after a total resection of a large tumor mass (ependymoma G II) located in the left hemisphere. Late complication of surgery was hemosiderosis of the brain diagnosed with SWI sequence. Conclusions: SWI sequence is very sensitive in diagnosing hemosiderin deposits. It allowed us to recognize cerebral hemosiderosis in this case. We suggest to include this sequence in routine MRI examinations of the brain, especially in cases of potential and suspected intracranial bleeding.
