The “hyperdense basivertebral vein” sign: another marker of a CSF-venous fistula

CSF-venous fistulas — initially described in 2014 — are a significant cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Dynamic lateral decubitus digital subtraction and/or CT myelography typically show a hyperdense paraspinal vein. In case of a central drainage toward the internal vertebral venous ple...

Sumario:CSF-venous fistulas — initially described in 2014 — are a significant cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Dynamic lateral decubitus digital subtraction and/or CT myelography typically show a hyperdense paraspinal vein. In case of a central drainage toward the internal vertebral venous plexus, it is the “hyperdense basivertebral vein” which should be searched for carefully.
