Abstract
The objective of this study is to assess CT-guided percutaneous injection of fibrin glue for the management of cerebrospinal fluid leaks within the spine. Percutaneous CT-guided placement of fibrin glue can provide a treatment option for postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leaks, potentially allowing a major surgical procedure to be avoided. However, the complication of aseptic meningitis may occasionally result from this procedure.
