Diskogenic Microspurs as a Major Cause of Intractable Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension
Neurol 87:1220-1226, Beck, J.,et al, 2016
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The nature of the CSF leak is a circumscribed longitudinal slit at the ventral, lateral, or dorsal dura mater. An extradural pathology, diskogenic microspurs, was the single cause for all ventral CSF leaks. These findings challenge the notion that CSF leaks in SIH are idiopathic or due to a weak dura. Microsurgery is the treatment of choice in cases with intractable SIH.
