CSF-Venous Fistulas: a practical guide for interventionalists

Diagnosing and managing cerebrospinal fluid-venous fistulas (CSFs) requires navigating complex venous anatomy and nuanced imaging techniques.

In this episode, JNIS Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Michael Chen, speaks with associate editor Dr. Emanuele Orru (Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, Massachusetts, USA) about establishing a systematic, multidisciplinary framework to identify and treat these low-pressure CSF leaks.

Dr. Emanuele Orru is the corresponding author of the paper: Cerebrospinal Fluid–Venous Fistulas: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management (https://jnis.bmj.com/content/early/2026/07/16/jnis-2026-025062), freely available on the JNIS website.
