The authors performed a retrospective study of patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension examined from February 2013 to October 2017. The spine MR imaging was reviewed by 3 blinded readers for the presence of epidural CSF using 3 different sequences (T2WI, 3D T2WI fat-saturated, T1WI gadolinium). In patients with leaks, the presumed level of the leak was reported. They conclude that intrathecal gadolinium-enhanced spine MR imaging does not improve the diagnostic accuracy for the detection of epidural CSF. Gadolinium myelography lacks a rationale to be included in the routine spontaneous intracranial hypotension work-up. Heavily T2-weighted images with fat saturation provide high accuracy for the detection of an epidural CSF collection.

Sixty-three consecutive patients who presented to the authors' institution with cervicofacial venous malformations and underwent postcontrast MR imaging were studied. Three neuroradiologists reviewed brain MRIs for the presence of developmental venous anomalies, dural venous sinus ectasia, and cavernous malformations. The prevalence of developmental venous anomalies in this patient population was compared with an age- and sex-matched control group without venous malformations. The overall presence of developmental venous anomalies in patients with venous malformations was 36.5% (23/63) compared with 7.9% (10/126) in controls. The prevalence of dural venous sinus ectasia was 9.5% (6/63) compared with 0% for controls. The authors show a significant association between cervicofacial venous malformations and cerebral developmental venous anomalies as well as between cervicofacial venous malformations and dural venous sinus abnormalities.
