Systematic Review of the Predictive Value of Negative Brain or Low Probability Brain MRIs in Patients with CSF-Venous Fistulas [CLINICAL]

BACKGROUND:
Since the discovery of the CSF-venous fistula (CVF), its diagnosis has become more frequent, especially in patients with brain MRIs positive for spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). However, there is a need to understand the likelihood of diagnosis of a CVF in a patient with negative brain imaging.

PURPOSE:
Our aim was to investigate judgment the frequency of CVF in patients suspected of SIH who have negative neuroaxis MRIs.

DATA SOURCES:
All studies reporting on the inciden…
