In this AJNR Article Summary, Dr. George Vilanilam discusses the article, "Maximizing the Conspicuity of Cerebrospinal Fluid–Venous Fistulas on Computed Tomography Myelography: Assessment of Contrast Density and Timing Effects." Contrast density, not just timing, plays the dominant role in detecting CSF-venous fistulas, with higher subarachnoid contrast significantly improving diagnostic confidence. These findings support prioritizing contrast pooling strategies during CT myelography to enhance fistula detection in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
