Sacral dural tears in #SIH are probably under-recognized.

Why?
Because the sacrum often isn’t scrutinized, or sometimes even included in the field of view on routine spine imaging.

In a new multicenter @AJNR study we found:

• Sacral leaks often produce isolated sacral CSF collections
• Image-guided patching can lead to meaningful clinical & imaging improvement
• Longitudinal imaging suggests some lesions mimicking “Tarlov cysts” may actually represent chronic or partially healed leaks

Encouraging to see multicenter collaboration continue to emerge in SIH imaging/treatment research.

🧠 New paper: numbers on the socioeconomic burden of #SIH.
Lost productivity drives major costs, while mental burden, misdiagnosis & delayed treatment aren’t even priced in
