Abstrakt: The cerebrospinal fluid spaces of the spine and brain are an intricate network of tissues with complex anatomic relationships. Understanding the normal imaging anatomy and variants of these spaces is crucial for accessing the spinal subarachnoid space and evaluating patients with suspected CSF leaks. This article reviews the imaging anatomy of the cerebrospinal fluid spaces in the spine and brain with emphasis on clinically relevant anatomy for percutaneous needle access to the spinal subarachnoid space and management of patients with CSF leak.
