BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) due to lateral dural tears with spinal longitudinal extradural fluid collections (SLECs) can cause disabling orthostatic headaches. While epidural patching is commonly used as first-line treatment, outcomes specific to lateral dural tears have not been well-characterized. We aimed to evaluate clinical and radiologic outcomes following CT-guided patching for lateral dural tears and assess whether anatomic or procedural factors&mda…
