Can MRI find spinal #CSFleaks that standard imaging misses? A new study used 2-step MRI to identify dural defects in suspected #SIH 🧠 ⬆️leak localization may⬆️targeted treatment 🔗headachejournal.onlinelibrar… @zack4186 @cyrusraji @SherwinAzad @DrJonOh @vellimana #Neurology #Headache

Excited to share our latest publication in AJNR! Led by Alexandre Bani-Sadr, this study demonstrates that CT-guided intracystic fibrin glue injection for CSF-venous fistulas is both safe & effective. This is now our first line approach in most cases. 🔗 ajnr.org/content/early/2026/…

One thing I’ve learned from caring for patients with #spinalCSFleaks is that many already track their symptoms, upright time, treatments, and medications in notebooks or spreadsheets. After seeing this repeatedly (and learning a lot from patients who have been doing this thoughtfully for years), I have built a simple app to help organize that information and generate a clear recovery timeline that can be shared with their doctors. My hope is that making this information easier to track and export may help facilitate better care, and eventually research. Hoping to release #Upright soon and will keep the community posted.

Crest-2 results at #SVIN2025: carotid stenting shows superiority over CEA and medical management. Huge moment for the field. 🚀 @svinsociety @SVINJournal @MThrombectomy

Largest employer is not a flex. They are administratively burdened and many of those roles are unnecessary. Healthcare delivery should be lean, not a value extraction cartel.

do not disregard these often subtle findings of inflammation/enthesitis on spine MRI. You might be the only hope for getting these patients properly treated for their spondy. Otherwise, might be many years until someone finally makes a dx.

This was a phenomenal course for fellows. I genuinely learned a lot, a very unique experience. Highly recommend for next year! Lucky to train with you, @TareqKass, and thanks to @Thindmints for organizing this extraordinary meeting.
And that’s a wrap of our CHICAGO course!! Thanks for the faculty and fellows, UChicago administrators, the device company sponsorship and the UChicago animal lab that made this possible And of course this was just an idea till @thindminst leadership made it a reality!!!

Vincent Costalat delivers early data from OTEMACS, the first European randomised trial evaluating MMA embo in cSDH patients. He reports positive safety outcomes + effectiveness data showing an even stronger signal vs successful trials from USA/China #SNIS2025 @SNISinfo @slice_inr
