Abstract
The isotopic cisternography is a nuclear medicine study which examined the physiology of cerebrospinal fluid movement and travel throughout the subdural space, with which it is possible to detect spinal fistulas that are undiagnosed with other methods. These characteristics make it useful in diagnosing hypotension intracranial syndrome (HIS); a rare condition whose main etiology is a “idiopathic” fistula which can be found any location of the subdural space. In our Nuclear Medicine services we have followed patients with this disease and reported three cases in which we determined the level of the fistula with isotope cisternography, allowing direct medical management and follow up after this
