Introduction: Dural closure preference has been a topic of debate in contemporary
neurosurgery. This study aims to compare different closure techniques using an in vitro …

Objective The incidental dural tear is a common complication in lumbar spine surgery. It has
been reported that the incidence of dural tears is much greater in endoscopic procedures …

Background: Various types of lumbar dural punctures may contribute to neurological injury.
The etiologies of dural injury include; inadvertent dural punctures due to epidurals placed for …

OBJECTIVE: Incisional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak remains a significant cause of
morbidity, particularly after posterior fossa surgery, with ranges between 4 and 17% in most …

Intracranial hypotension is known to occur as a result of spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
leaking, which may be iatrogenic, traumatic, or spontaneous. Headache is usually, but not …

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are one of the common complications after traumatic brain
injuries (TBI). The risks of CSF leaks can be detrimental to the outcomes of the patients …

Background and Objectives Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage secondary to surgery of the
spine is usually treated by drainage of CSF through a subarachnoid catheter or surgical …

Lateral dural tears as a cause spontaneous intracranial hypotension occur in∼ 20% of
patients. Common imaging modalities for their detection are lateral decubitus digital …

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage may develop when a defect is formed in dural layers by
traumatic or iatrogenic processes. Traumatic CSF leakage was encountered in 2% of head …

Dural defects are common in spinal and cranial neurosurgery. A series of complications,
such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, occur after rupture of the dura. Therefore, treatment …
