Congratulations to our former @CedarsSinai resident #DrAngeliqueTay’s 6th CSF leak paper! A systematic review of CSF-venous fistulas in patients with a good story for SIH but normal brain & spine imaging. Yield is not zero! @spinalCSFleak

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is caused by spinal CSF loss in 99.9% of patients. In this girl the cause was not only at the level of the skull base but CSF was exposed to the milieu extérieur resulting in 2 bouts of meningitis @spinalCSFleak

We see spontaneous fistulas daily but traumatic ones are distinctly less common. This young man developed orthostatic headaches 2 years after a brachial plexus avulsion. Surgery with @DreBoyke was able to address both a lateral leak and a fistula @spinalCSFleak

Hurt his back while hunting elk. Now an inoperable pseudomeningocele after 1 discectomy and 5 CSF leak repair attempts. What is risk of superficial siderosis? Maybe @LivingwithSS symposium in Boston or in Amsterdam will tell @spinalCSFleak

International collaboration in CSF leak care is essential. We have been fortunate to host CSF leak specialist Dr M Slot from @amsterdamumc. Dr Slot is the youngest and first woman chair in neurosurgery in the Netherlands @spinalCSFleak @AmsNeuroscience
