- “Flow Void Sign”: Flow Artifact on T2-Weighted MRI Can Be an Indicator of Dural Defect Location in Ventral Type 1 Spinal CSF Leaks
Type 1 CSF leaks are commonly associated with ventral predominant epidural fluid. On 2D T2-weighted and STIR images, CSF-flow artifact in the anterior subarachnoid space and/or the adjacent epidural fluid collection at the level of the dural defect is caused by CSF-flow and may permit accurate prediction of the site of the CSF leak noninvasively.
