Nuclear machine studies Indication: inactive intermittent, small/questionable CFS leak Leaks not revealed by CT cysternography. Detect presence rather than precise localization. Radio isotopes introduced in CSF by Lumbar Puncture /suboccipital
The clinical finding of CSF rhinorrhoea represents only the site of existing CSF but not the origin of the fistula. Accurate definition of the leakage site is undoubtedly the must
