Mark Mamlouk: When Postpartum Headache Signals More Than a CSF Leak

Mark Mamlouk, Neuroradiology Lead, Director of Spinal CSF Leak Program at The Permanente Medical Group, shared a post on X about a recent article he and his colleague co-authored, published in AJNR, adding:

“New in The AJNR:

Postpartum CVT and spinal CSF leak can coexist after epidural anesthesia.

3 takeaways:

  • CVT – consider CSF leak
  • Worsening/nonpostural PDPH – exclude CVT
  • If both – anticoagulation and consider blood patch.”
