Spinal CSF Volumetry in Patients with Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension and Spinal CSF Leaks
Spinal CSF volumetry reliably detects a significant increase in intrathecal CSF volume following definitive leak closure in patients with SIH. Notably, posttreatment spinal CSF volumes exceeded those of non-SIH controls, suggesting a potential compensatory mechanism with overshooting CSF volume after prolonged CSF depletion.
