Cerebrospinal Fluid- Venous Fistulas

center dot Cerebrospinal fluid-venous fistulas (CSFVFs) are being increasingly diagnosed as clinical and radio- logic recognition improve. center dot Lateral decubitus digital subtraction myelography is the current mainstay of CSFVF diagnosis. center dot Epidural patching with autologous blood or fibrin glue typically only provides temporary symptomatic relief. center dot Transvenous embolization is a minimally invasive treatment that provides durable symptomatic and radiographic improvement and will likely become the standard of care. center dot Surgical ligation remains a durable treatment option but is more invasive and is limited at eloquent levels, including the cervical and lumbar regions.
