Using whole-spine MR myelography in patients receiving diagnostic lumbar punctures, Wang et al. show that post-dural puncture headache is associated with more extensive and more rostral CSF leakages. Compared to other types of CSF leakage, periradicular leaks have a better spatial correlation with the dural defect introduced by lumbar puncture.
