Abstract

SUMMARY: CSF-venous fistula is an important treatable cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension that is often difficult to detect using traditional imaging techniques. Herein, we describe the technical aspects and diagnostic performance of MR myelography when used for identifying CSF-venous fistulas. We report 3 cases in which the CSF-venous fistula was occult on CT myelography but readily detected using MR myelography.

ABBREVIATIONS:

CVF
CSF-venous fistula
SIH
spontaneous intracranial hypotension
VIBE
volumetric interpolated brain examination
