For the past 2 years, we have been working non stop with a large group of doctors to create UK guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and management of spinal CSF leaks. We look forward to our community having equitable access! #rarediseaseday2022 #csfleak #SIH #headache

Replying to @AndrewCallenMD
That’s a beauty! You inspired me to have a go with cinematic VRT using one of my dynamic CTMs of a ventral #spinalCSFleak at T4-5. Not quite as nice as yours but I’ll keep playing in syngo.via with some of my other cases #SIH @spinalCSFleak @csfleakinfo @csfleakaware

I’ll second that! Whilst #spinalCSFleak is my neuroradiology passion I enjoy hunting down skull base leaks too, so it was great to write about them for this volume.

Finally the studies are telling us what patients have known for a long time but often were not heard. Will this mean that patients are finally ‘consented’ properly & supported & helped afterwards. #PDPH #SpinalCSFLeak #ItsNotJustAHeadache @csfleakinfo painmedicinenews.com/Online-…

Interesting explanation for the truly myelography negative patients.. but I wonder how many of these pts actually have a difficult to identify / ‘shy’ CVF…We need better methods to detect cvfs without repeated exposure to ionising radiation in these tricky cases @csfleakinfo

"Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is an under recognised and under diagnosed cause of debilitating headaches." We chat to @NeuroradLal from @GSTTnhs and @KingsCollegeNHS about her team's pioneering #neuroscience work. ▶ Full article here: bit.ly/2ZqeeTC

So excited that our study on the time sequence of brain MRI findings in #SpinalCSFleak has been published in @JCephalalgia. According to this study, the onset–neuroimaging interval should be considered when using brain MRI findings or #neuroimaging scores for diagnosing #SIH.

Curing patients with CSF leak with percutaneous fibrin glue injection is effective, safe and incredibly rewarding! Another amazing talk and pearls from @MarkMamloukMD 👏🏾👏🏾 #SIH2021 #spinalcsfleak
Decubitus CTM and fibrin glue injection for diagnosis and treatment of #spinalCSFleak caused by CSF-venous fistulas. @MarkMamloukMD stresses the importance of technique in diagnosis and treatment - getting needle at junction of diverticulum and vein crucial to success. #SIH2021
