Factors Predictive of Treatment Success in CT-Guided Fibrin Occlusion of CSF-Venous Fistulas: A Multicenter Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study Open
Fibrin occlusion performed across various institutions shows cure when associated with injectate spread matching the CVF drainage pattern and shorter pretreatment symptom duration, emphasizing the importance of accurate injectate placement…

Modified Dynamic CT Myelography for Type 1 and 2 CSF Leaks: A Procedural Approach Open
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.

Spontaneous Spinal CSF Leaks Stratified by Age, Body Mass Index, and Spinal Level Open
Type 1 CSF leaks occurred in younger patients with a normal body mass index, while patients with type 3 CSF leaks were relatively older and had an elevated body mass index. Type 1 leaks mostly occurred in the upper thoracic spine, and type…

2-Level Anterior Cervical Arthrodesis With Integrated Spacer and Plate vs Traditional Anterior Spacer and Plate System Open
BACKGROUND: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common surgery to treat cervical degenerative disc disease. Use of an anterior spacer and plate system (ASPS) results in increased disc height, higher fusion rate, lower subsi…

Decubitus CT Myelography for CSF-Venous Fistulas: A Procedural Approach Open
Decubitus CT myelography is a reported method to identify CSF-venous fistulas in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. One of the main advantages of decubitus CT myelography in detecting CSF-venous fistulas is using gravity t…

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Craniovertebral Junction Ligaments: Normal Anatomy and Traumatic Injury Open
The superb stability and flexibility of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) are enabled by the ligaments that connect the occipital bone and the C1 and C2 vertebral bodies. Radiographically, these ligaments are best assessed with magnetic r…

Basic Imaging of Skull Base Trauma Open
Skull base fractures extend through the floor of the anterior, middle, or posterior cranial fossa. They are frequently associated with complex facial fractures and serious complications such as cranial nerve or vascular injury, cerebrospin…
