Abstract
SUMMARY: We describe a technique termed “resisted inspiration” that could be used during myelography to decrease superior vena cava venous pressure and increase lumbar CSF pressure, potentially aiding in the detection of CSF-venous fistulas.
ABBREVIATIONS:
- CVF
- CSF-venous fistula
- IIH
- idiopathic intracranial hypertension
- LP
- lumbar puncture
- SIH
- spontaneous intracranial hypotension
- SVC
- superior vena cava
