Assessing Spinal Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension With a Scoring System Based on Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "JAMA Neurology"
DOI: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2018.4921
Abstract: Importance Various signs may be observed on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). However, the lack of a classification system integrating these findings limits decision making in clinical practice.… read more here.
