ABSTRACT
CSF-venous fistulas (CVFs) are an important cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension and challenging to diagnose. Lateral decubitus positioning during myelography and a technique called "resisted inspiration" has shown to improve CVF detection. However, the impact of intrathecal pressurization to improve visualization of CVF has mostly been speculated on. In this brief report, we demonstrate how a CVF became progressively more visible only after stepwise intrathecal pressurization An indication of the importance of pressurization for CVF detection.
