Evaluation of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Probabilistic Brain MRI Scoring Systems in Normal Patients
All intermediate probability Bern scores were due to decreased CSF cistern measurements, which had relatively high positivity rates in our non-SIH patient cohort. Due to substantial overlap with normal patients, these measurements are not specific indicators of "brain sag," a hallmark imaging finding for SIH, and are not specific for SIH when the only "positive" brain MRI finding(s). The Mayo score is likely more specific for SIH with low probability scores in all patients in our cohort.
