"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! 💙

I have spent decades calling for more minority Muslim representation in the corridors of power but if this is what it looks like, an eagerness to suck up to power and suppress dissent and opposition to genocide, then no thanks.
