Neuro-Imaging Evidence for Reversible Collapsibility of the Distal Transverse Sinuses in Spontaneous CSF Leak

Many patients who develop spontaneous CSF leaks have demographic similarities to IIH patients, and some patients develop symptoms of intracranial hypertension after leak repair. Spontaneous intracranial CSF leak is likely on the same spectrum disorder as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and is sometimes a complication of definite IIH. Characteristic radiologic signs of IIH are common in spontaneous CSF leak patients, but little is known about changes in the distal transverse sinuses in patients with spontaneous CSF leak.
