<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Spontaneous spinal CSF leaks typically cause orthostatic headache, but their detection may require specialized and invasive imaging. We undertook a study to determine the value of simple optic nerve sheath MR imaging measurements in predicting likelihood finding CSF-venous fistula, type leak that cannot be detected with routine spine or CT myelography, among patients headache normal conventional brain findings. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> This cohort included...
Spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks cause intracranial hypotension (SIH) and also may infratentorial superficial siderosis (iSS) but the rate of development among different CSF leak types outcome treatment are not known. We determined time interval from SIH onset to iSS treatment.A total 1,589 patients with underwent neuroimaging was detected in 57 (23 men 34 women, mean age = 41.3 years [3.6%]). examined type underlying by various imaging modalities. Percutaneous surgical...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Symptoms indistinguishable from behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) can develop in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension associated severe brain sagging. An underlying spinal CSF leak be identified only a minority of these and the success rate nondirected treatments, such as epidural blood patching dural reduction surgery, is low. The disability bvFTD sagging syndrome high and, because importance venous system pathophysiology leaks...
Spinal CSF leaks cause spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Several types of have been identified, and one these is the lateral dural tear. Performing myelography with patient in decubitus position allows precise characterization leaks. The purpose current study was to describe different variants
A spinal CSF-venous fistula is an increasingly recognized type of CSF leak that causes spontaneous intracranial hypotension. The detection these fistulas requires specialized imaging such as digital subtraction myelography or dynamic CT myelography, and several treatment options are available. novel for consisting transvenous embolization with the liquid embolic agent Onyx has been described recently, but some patients require further if fails. purpose this study was to evaluate safety...
Abstract Objective Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) sagging brain syndrome is a disabling condition. An underlying spinal Cerebrospinal fluid leak can be identified in only minority of patients and the success rate non‐directed treatments low. Some these have remote history craniectomy/cranioplasty we report positive response to custom implant cranioplasty revision many years after their initial cranioplasty. Methods We reviewed medical records imaging studies 61 consecutive with FTD syndrome....
Postoperative spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are common but rarely cause extensive CSF collections that require specialized imaging to detect the site of dural breach.To investigate use digital subtraction myelography (DSM) for patients with extradural after spine surgery.A retrospective review was performed identify a consecutive group postoperative who underwent DSM.Twenty-one (9 men and 12 women) were identified. The mean age 46.7 years (range, 17-75 years). duration leak 3.3 3...
Abstract A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak developed in a 14‐year‐old girl and 12‐year‐old boy following diagnostic lumbar puncture. Two days sixteen years later, respectively, paraplegia due to functional disorder. Imaging revealed an extensive extradural CSF collection both patients digital subtraction myelography was required pinpoint the exact site of ventral dural puncture hole where spinal needle had gone “through through” sac. The complicated by cortical vein thrombosis one patient....
