Localization of spinal CSF leaks may require multiple myelograms when the initially suspected CSF leak type is not identified. We describe a salvage CT myelography (CTM) technique in which the patient is repositioned during the same myelographic session to evaluate for an alternative CSF leak type. Eleven patients unde...

Enlarged and tortuous veins along the dorsal aspect of the spinal cord are traditionally associated with a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF). We present six cases demonstrating prominent dorsal perimedullary spinal veins in patients without a dAVF, but rather with a spinal CSF leak resulting in spontaneous intr...

The authors focus primarily on advanced CT myelographic techniques for leaks from dural tears and CSF venous fistulas and the importance of optimal patient positioning, typical and atypical appearances of the different leak types, and artifacts that can mimic a CSF leak are considered.
