Abstract

Craniospinal space compliance reflects the distensibility of the spinal and intracranial CSF spaces as a system. Craniospinal space compliance has been studied in intracranial pathologies, but data are limited in assessing it in spinal CSF leak. This study describes a method to estimate craniospinal space compliance using saline infusion during CT myelography and explores the use of craniospinal space compliance and pressure-volume curves in patients with suspected cerebrospinal-venous fistula.
