Cerebrospinal Fluid Collection, Myelography, Epidurography and Discography

چکیده
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is an important component of the diagnostic evaluation of patients with neurologic diseases, and abnormalities in the color, cellularity, and protein level of the CSF may contribute to or confirm the diagnosis. Cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities have to be viewed in the context of the neurologic examination, historical complaints, clinical findings, advanced imaging, and any laboratory abnormalities.

3D-CT Epidurography Can Detect Cerebrospinal-Fluid Leakage in a Patient with Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension: A Case Report
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension presents with many symptoms including orthostatic headache, dizziness, and nausea due to cerebrospinal-fluid (CSF) leakage from the spinal dural sac. Although CSF leakage can be estimated by radioisotope (RI) cisternography or computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging myelography, it is not easy to detect the leakage point using these modalities. Here, ...
متن کاملApplication of time-spatial labeling inversion pulse magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of spontaneous intracranial hypotension due to high-flow cerebrospinal fluid leakage at C1-2
BACKGROUND Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) due to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage at C1-2 poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to spine surgeons. Although computed tomography (CT) myelography has been the diagnostic imaging modality of choice for identifying the CSF leakage point, extradural CSF collection at C1-2 on conventional CT myelography or magnetic resonance imaging ...
متن کاملSupine digital subtraction myelography for the demonstration of a dorsal cerebrospinal fluid leak in a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension: a technical note.
A patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension due to a spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak required localization of the leakage site prior to surgical management. Conventional, computed tomography and prone digital subtraction myelography failed to localize the dural tear, which was postulated to be dorsally located. We present here a digital subtraction myelographic approach to accurat...
متن کاملOrthostatic 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 کاملDetection of cerebrospinal fluid metastasis: CT myelography or MR?
PURPOSE To determine the sensitivity of contrast MR versus myelography followed by CT in the detection of cerebrospinal fluid metastases in children with primary central nervous system tumors. METHODS Thirty-three patients who had primary central nervous system malignancies had spinal MR with gadolinium within 2 weeks of a myelogram followed by CT. MR technique included T1-weighted image sequ...
