- Why, How Often, and What Happens When We Fail: A Retrospective Analysis of Failed Fluoroscopically Guided Lumbar Punctures
Initial and repeat FGLPs have very high success rates. No difference exists in the likelihood of patients returning for a re-attempt based on clinical indication.
- Temporal Characteristics of CSF-Venous Fistulas on Digital Subtraction Myelography
This is the first study to report the temporal characteristics of CSF-venous fistulas using digital subtraction myelography. The authors found that, on average, the CSF-venous fistula appeared 9.1 seconds (range, 0-30 seconds) after intrathecal contrast reached the spinal level.
- Modified Dynamic CT Myelography for Type 1 and 2 CSF Leaks: A Procedural Approach
Modified dynamic CT myelography performed with single scan acquisitions, smaller volume of contrast, and reduced scan coverage can reduce the radiation dose for type 1 and 2 CSF leak detection.
- Conebeam CT as an Adjunct to Digital Subtraction Myelography for Detection of CSF-Venous Fistulas
The authors describe a technique involving conebeam CT performed during intrathecal contrast injection as an adjunct to digital subtraction myelography, allowing identification of some otherwise-missed CSF-venous fistulas.
- Patterns of Intrathecal Ossification in Arachnoiditis Ossificans: A Retrospective Case Series
The authors retrospectively analyzed CT and MR imaging of 41 patients to identify common patterns of intrathecal ossification and present the common etiologies.
