Cervical #spine stenosis guide we created to implement consistent #radiology reporting across our multi-hospital network. Also included are 3 images from our lumbar stenosis guide from a couple years ago. While no "gold standard" exists, at least we can be consistent. @aboutKP

An impressive 48 hours for spinal CSF leak research!

FOUR papers published in @TheAJNR on Oct 22–23, covering:

Salvage CT myelography
Body habitus in brain sagging syndrome
CTM timing for CSF-venous fistulas
Venous pressure dynamics in SIH

Weekend reading starts NOW!

New in @TheAJNR: Postpartum CVT & spinal CSF leak can coexist after epidural anesthesia.

3 takeaways:
• CVT → consider CSF leak
• Worsening/nonpostural PDPH → exclude CVT
• If both → anticoagulation + consider blood patch

Excited to share this newly published pictorial review in @PedRadJournal: “Detecting the Drip: Pediatric Neuroradiologist Guide to Spinal CSF Leaks.”

A practical approach to imaging, localization, and treatment of pediatric spinal CSF leaks. @The_ASPNR

Not long ago, CSF-venous fistulas were unknown.

Then we learned how to find them. Now, we can diagnose & treat in the same session.

In this case, prior research predicted the CVF would arise at/near the largest cyst. CTM confirmed it & intracystic fibrin patched—in 60 min.
