Volumetric response after closure of a spinal CSF leak in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension: a multicompartmental longitudinal study
Closure of a spinal CSF leak leads to an early increase in ventricular CSF volume and a decrease in venous sinus volume. The results reflect the long-term convergence of the SIH score to normal values and indicate that permanent closure of a CSF leak induces a stable recompensation of the intracranial compartments without involving significant volume shifts within the cerebral parenchyma.
