Diagnosis and localisation of spinal CSF leaks remain difficult despite multiple imaging modalities that can be used to aid identification. These include traditional CT myelography and MRI as well as newer techniques such as dynamic and digital subtraction myelography. Leaks can be classified into types and optimal localisation and management techniques vary by type of leak. Localisation of a leak can aid in targeting treatment such as an epidural blood patch if conservative measures fail. Where unsuccessful, repeated blood patches and novel techniques can be used to improve patient symptoms. Much of this condition is not well understood and evidence is lacking, with many avenues for potential research. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/32728 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jocn.2023.03.005 | ORCID: | Journal: | Journal of Clinical Neuroscience : Official Journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia | Start page: | 46 | End page: | 56 | PubMed URL: | 36948109 | ISSN: | 1532-2653 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Blood Patch Epidural Intervention Spinal Intracranial Hypotension/diagnosis Intracranial Hypotension/diagnostic imaging Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak/diagnostic imaging Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak/therapy Myelography/methods Tomography, X-Ray Computed/methods |
