Title: Spontaneous CSF leak treated with percutaneous CT-guided fibrin glue
Abstract: Gladstone et al.1 advocate sealing CSF leaks with CT-guided, targeted fibrin glue injections in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). We agree that the injection should be made at the site of the leak as a distant epidural blood patch may often give only temporary relief.
