🚨Study supported by @spinalCSFleak https://t.co/5fH9S4NxrR🚨 Lumbar punctures are NO LONGER the standard for diagnosing spinal CSF leak! 📊 ~32% with SIH have NORMAL opening pressure. Symptoms + imaging now drive diagnosis. @WouterSchievink @ConnieDelineMD #SpinalCSFLeak #SIH

[Andrew L Callen MD @AndrewCallenMD]

I am so grateful for this group of incredible patient and physician speakers who made their way to Colorado to discuss CSF leaks! @spinalCSFleak

[Simy K. Parikh @SimyParikh]

Take it month by month, not day by day. #SpinalCSFLeak #SIH can have a devastating impact on quality of life and can rob patients of their identity. Amazing advice by patients @spinalCSFleak #BridgingTheGap

[Simy K. Parikh @SimyParikh]

How can patients with #headache #SIH advocate for themselves? Amazing conference on #SpinalCSFLeak #SIH by @spinalCSFleak @AndrewCallenMD with both patient and physician perspectives. Tips from a patient #BridgingTheGap

Today is World Stroke Day - a reminder that brain sagging from a spinal CSF leak can result in a stroke. This is a patient we treated this month who had suffered a PCA stroke. CSF-venous fistula was embolized by ⁦@marcelmaya⁩. ⁦@StrokeAHA_ASA⁩ ⁦@spinalCSFleak⁩

@AndrewCallenMD gave an amazing radiology grand rounds here @TJUHospital @JeffHeadacheCtr on #CSFleak #SIH. Spinal CSF leaks impact quality of life more than MS and functionality more than cancer! Luckily, many are treatable with the right intervention.

[Simy K. Parikh @SimyParikh]

Epidural blood patches are a first line treatment for #spinalCSFleak and early patching can improve prognosis. So glad to have contributed to this multidisciplinary ⭐️open access⭐️ recommendation for early blood patching.

[Spinal CSF Leak Foundation @spinalCSFleak]

⭐New open access paper!⭐ This multi-institution collaborative review on the role of epidural blood patching in CSF Leaks is an important addition to the literature: https://t.co/eTMgNMMwVt

[Simy K. Parikh @SimyParikh]

Fantastic article highlighting patient and physician perspectives in @spinalCSFleak. A true must-read!

[Simy K. Parikh @SimyParikh]

An amazing presidential plenary at #AAN by @drsanjaygupta on 🧠 health. Highlights for neurologists: develop short but clear brain health msgs, advocate for healthcare access for all, and gratitude, human connection, and physical activity are as important as cognitive exercises

[Simy K. Parikh @SimyParikh]
