"Type 1 spinal CSF leaks in patients with SIH are mostly high-flow leaks that take, on average, 1.5 seconds to pass the ventral dural tear. DSM offers high temporal resolution and was ideally suited for detecting these leaks when used as a first-line investigation."

🧠 Headache Academy Reflections
A clear CSF leak thread ran throughout, culminating in Dr Cheema's brilliant overview of orthostatic headache syndromes.
🗣️ Precise leak site now located in most MRI+ve patients
🗣️ SIH curable in majority of patients
Momentum building! 💙
