  • Title: Demonstration of cerebrospinal fluid leakage on radionuclide cisternography by SPECT/CT.
    Author: Nursal GN, Yapar AF.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2015 Jan; 40(1):e55-7. PubMed ID: 25072925.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 37-year-old woman with severe headache provoked by postural changes who was referred to the nuclear medicine department for radionuclide cisternography to demonstrate suspected cerebrospinal fluid leakage. There was an increased uptake laterally on the left paraspinal region of upper thoracal spine and posteriorly on the upper cervical region. Fused SPECT/CT images located the exact leakage site as at the first costovertebral junction level on the left side laterally and on the posterior region of the first and second cervical spine. The treatment with epidural blood patch was successful.
