Was asked to look at my mom’s dog’s brain MRI today. A few thoughts: dog brains are remarkably similar to human brains, just comically tiny. Veterinary MRI uses many of the same sequences we use in humans. Impression: good boy.

19/In fact, finding the combo of Scream horror mask & chipmunk face means that there’s a 70-80% the patient will respond to shunting—which is basically the NPH response rate in general! So remember, look for the chipmunk so you won’t have to squirrel around w/calling NPH!

Thank you @SimyParikh and @TJUHospital for the invitation to speak on #CSFleak diagnosis and treatment! It was my honor and privilege to visit one of the top headache centers in the country.
Replying to @AndrewCallenMD
@AndrewCallenMD gave an amazing radiology grand rounds here @TJUHospital @JeffHeadacheCtr on #CSFleak #SIH. Spinal CSF leaks impact quality of life more than MS and functionality more than cancer! Luckily, many are treatable with the right intervention.

Cord herniation or arachnoid cyst? A common conundrum. Dynamic CTM can help! Arachnoid cysts will often fill in on delayed imaging, so obtaining early dynamic imaging is key to making the diagnosis, outlined beautifully in this case: @NeuroRadSam
