Publication date: 2019Source: European Journal of Radiology Open, Volume 6Author(s): Milad Yazdani, Seth T. Stalcup, Arindam R. Chatterjee, Maria G. MatheusAbstractSulcal hyperintensity on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence is a frequently encountered finding that could be due to an abnormality of cerebrospinal fluid, a secondary finding related to an intracranial pathologic process, or be artifactual or iatrogenic. Here we present two cases of sulcal FLAIR hyperintensity in the setting of intracranial hypotension after CSF removal for intracranial hypertension.
