The leak was identified during the first and the second CDM in 43 and 17\u00a0patients, respectively. The use of CDM correctly identified the site of the CSF leak in all but one patient undergoing surgical closure (45\/46, 98%). The mean fluoroscopy time was 7.8\u202fmin (range 1.8\u201314.4\u202fmin) with a\u00a0radiation dose for a\u00a0single examination of 310\u202fmGy (range 28\u20131237\u202fmGy).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The CDM procedure has a\u00a0high accuracy for spinal CSF leak localization including dural tears and spinal nerve diverticula. It is the technique with the highest temporal resolution, is robust to breathing artifacts, allows great flexibility regarding patient positioning, compares favorably to other dynamic examinations with respect to the radiation dose and does not require general anesthesia. For CSF venous fistulas, however, other dynamic examinations, such as digital subtraction myelography, seem more appropriate.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00062-020-00943-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,26]],"date-time":"2020-08-26T13:02:37Z","timestamp":1598446957000},"page":"633-641","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Role of Conventional Dynamic Myelography for Detection of High-Flow Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Eike I.","family":"Piechowiak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Pospieszny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Levin","family":"Haeni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher M.","family":"Jesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Peschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pascal J.","family":"Mosimann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Kaesmacher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pasquale","family":"Mordasini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Raabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian T.","family":"Ulrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00fcrgen","family":"Beck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Gralla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6167-3343","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomas","family":"Dobrocky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"943_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"673","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000002986","volume":"87","author":"WI Schievink","year":"2016","unstructured":"Schievink\u00a0WI, Maya\u00a0MM, Jean-Pierre\u00a0S, Nu\u00f1o\u00a0M, Prasad\u00a0RS, Moser\u00a0FG.
