N1 - In patients with occult cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks or CSF leak syndrome, orthostatic headaches are a common presenting symptom. Although computed tomography (CT) myelography has historically been the gold standard for diagnosis with radioisotope cisternography as a diagnostic alternative, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) myelography using intrathecal gadolinium has reported sensitivity of 80%-87%.
