Key Points

The central aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of digital subtraction myelography (DSM) in diagnosing pediatric CSF leaks.
Analyzed the use of DSM as a diagnostic technique for pediatric patients.
Focused on the localization of CSF leaks for targeted treatment.
Considered the incorporation of DSM into current diagnostic workflows.
DSM is demonstrated as a safe and effective method for diagnosing pediatric CSF leaks.
Improved precision in leak localization is noted.
Potential enhanced outcomes for children suffering from intracranial hypotension are suggested.

Abstract

DSM is a safe and effective diagnostic technique for pediatric CSF leaks, enabling precise localization critical for targeted treatment. Incorporating DSM into the diagnostic workflow may improve outcomes for children with intracranial hypotension, but further multicenter studies are needed to validate findings and optimize protocols.
