CSF Leakage Spine - MRI Protocol





I have already mentioned CSF Leakage - Intracranial Hypotension and Intracranial Hypotension before. Here I would like to present a simple and effective MRI protocol to show the CSF leakage. The clue is to use heavy T2 weighted sequence with thin slice, good resolution and what is most important - fat saturation. We want to get rid of epidural fat. Note on the images above the epidural CSF dorsally to dural sack that extends from cervical to low thoracic level. Sagittal projections show extend of the leakage, while tranversal images show more detail anatomy. This investigation was performed on Siemens Trio Tim 3T machine with the same sequence in two projections:





- sag: t2_spc_sag_p3_iso_384_myelo

Nex 2

Slice 0.8 mm

TR: 1500

TE: 224

Flip angle: 110



- tra: t2_spc_tra_p2_iso_320_myelo

Nex 2

Slice 1 mm

TR: 1500

TE: 224

Flip angle: 110



For the location of the tranversal sections it is wise to ask your technicians to request radiologist supervision. It is also useful to make coronal reconstructions from the sagittal sequences as well as rotating MIP reconstructions. The exact place of leakage is often difficult to visualize.

    I saw so many testimonies about Dr Itua a great HERBAL DOCTOR that can cure all kind of diseases and give you the rightful health to live a joyful life, I didn't believe it at first, but as the pain got worse and my life was at risk after visiting my therapist numerous times for combination of treatments.
