Assessment of CSF Flow Dynamics Using PC-MRI in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension

Abstract

Aim.-Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is caused by spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and is known to cause orthostatic headaches. Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) is a non-invasive technique that can be used to quantify variation in CSF flow. The aim of this study was to assess CSF flow dynamics using PC-MRI in SIH.
