Spinal CSF Leak Foundation
@spinalCSFleak
A US 501(c)3 nonprofit org that helps raise awareness, educate, & support research on intracranial hypotension & spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks.
It's the end of #leakweek & duradash®! We're thrilled to have met our goal of raising $20,000 to further our mission and fund research, education, and awareness of spinal CSF leak. We also had 15 landmark light-ups in the US, & our leakweek slides were shared far & wide!

🧠 World Brain Day 🧠 On #WorldBrainDay and every day, we advocate for greater awareness and more research to improve diagnostic tools, treatment options, and long-term outcomes for patients affected by #spinalCSFleak/#SIH
“A discogenic microspur is a common incidental finding and may be found in almost one-third of the general population. The length of the culprit microspur and the diameter of the spinal canal are distinct morphologic characteristics for type I associated CSF leaks."
