Same-Day Bilateral Decubitus CT Myelography for Detecting CSF-Venous Fistulas in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension

Lateral decubitus CT myelography is a sensitive technique for detecting CSF-venous fistulas in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. It might be necessary to perform bilateral studies to locate a fistula. We report on the feasibility of obtaining diagnostic-quality bilateral decubitus...

Description
Summary:	Lateral decubitus CT myelography is a sensitive technique for detecting CSF-venous fistulas in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. It might be necessary to perform bilateral studies to locate a fistula. We report on the feasibility of obtaining diagnostic-quality bilateral decubitus CT myelography in a single session, avoiding the need to schedule separate examinations for the left and right sides on different days.
