«This case underscores the importance of considering SIH in patients presenting with atypical or positional headaches, particularly when accompanied by SDH. Early recognition and appropriate intervention are crucial to prevent complications and optimise patient outcomes. »

What is it really like to experience a CSF leak? The truth is, every patient is different - and some wait years for answers, let alone treatment. In our new documentary, releasing 03 December, Dr Bern Hard tells her story. #CSFleak

"This case underscores the importance of recognizing the interplay between congenital anomalies and acquired CSF pathology. substantial gaps remain in our understanding of CSF-lymphatic interactions, particularly in the context of congenital anomalies."

Some lateral CSF leaks are diminutive but others are more sizable. Childhood orthostatic headaches and recent leg weakness. Imaging shows a lateral CSF leak from the left L1 nerve root that was caused by an aberrant artery of Adamkiewicz piercing the dura. ⁦@spinalCSFleak

If you’re a patient still searching for answers — or someone navigating any uncertain diagnosis — please remember: #DontLoseHope. The science is moving fast. Healing is possible. And you are not alone. 💙

• Novel treatments — from targeted patching to endovascular embolization and minimally invasive surgery — are restoring lives that were once on hold. • Growing awareness of the risks and long-term effects of post-dural puncture leaks is improving patient safety everywhere.

I’ve been reflecting on advances in spinal CSF leak care over the past five years — and I truly believe it represents one of the most rapid and transformative evolutions in modern medicine.

🚨Study supported by @spinalCSFleak doi.org/10.1111/head.1…🚨 Lumbar punctures are NO LONGER the standard for diagnosing spinal CSF leak! 📊 ~32% with SIH have NORMAL opening pressure. Symptoms + imaging now drive diagnosis. @WouterSchievink @ConnieDelineMD #SpinalCSFLeak #SIH

This remarkable video highlights how far neuroradiology has come since the first spinal CSFVF was imaged in 2014. Thanks to the skill and innovation of neuroradiologists, diagnosis and care for patients with CSF leaks has been transformed. Grateful to all advancing this field 🙏

New in JNIS: a venographic classification of the epidural plexus (EP) to guide CVF embo through EP navigation. Success: >90% (Types I–II) → 50% (Type III). Type III = longer fluoroscopy + more EP perforations → prefer segmental vein access. Clinical outcomes highly favorable.
