Orthostatic headache from spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid leakage; diagnosed by heavily T2-weighted magnetic resonance myelography.
Orthostatic headache is derived from low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure as evidenced by cranial magnetic resonance myelography (MRM). This reports three cases of patients coming with orthostatic headache without previous obvious spine trauma. The first two cases had headache with radiating neck pain while the third case had headache with radiating pain to the eye sockets or occasional nause...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea: evaluation with metrizamide cisternography.
Metrizamide computed tomographic cisternography was used to examine 27 patients (19 males and eight females, 14-59 years old) clinically suspected of having cerebrospinal fluid fistulae with rhinorrhea. Twenty-one fistulae were traumatic and six were spontaneous. Five to 6 ml of metrizamide (or lopamidol, two cases) were injected by lumbar puncture at a concentration of 185-200 mg I/ml for dire...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid fistula: detection with MR cisternography.
PURPOSE Our goal was to assess the role of MR cisternography in the examination of patients with suspected CSF rhinorrhea. METHODS MR cisternography was performed as a heavily T2-weighted fast spin-echo study with fat suppression and video reversal of the images in 37 patients over a 3-year interval. Twenty-four of the patients subsequently had exploratory surgery for fistula. Statistical ana...
متن کاملDetection of cerebrospinal fluid leakage in intracranial hypotension with radionuclide cisternography and blood activity monitoring.
UNLABELLED Radionuclide cisternography is an indispensable examination to detect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in patients suspected of having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). However, it sometimes fails to demonstrate the site of CSF leakage, and in such cases, early bladder visualization is utilized for the diagnosis of SIH as an indirect finding. The aim of this work is to imp...
متن کاملDetection of Surgery-related Spinal Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage Using Magnetic Resonance Myelography
An incidental dural tear resulting in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a complication of spinal surgery, with a reported incidence of between 0.3% and 16% (1, 2). The patient is likely to experience symptoms of CSF hypovolemia, including postural headache plus nausea, vomiting, pain or tightness in the neck or back, dizziness, diplopia, photophobia, tinnitus, and/or blurred vision. The usua...
