Abstract

Background: A 39-year-old male presenting with syncope was found to have superficial siderosis on initial imaging, prompting a comprehensive repeat MRI to rule out vascular causes, as spinal CSF leaks are a recognized cause of this condition. The evaluation, including non-contrast MRA/MRV and ASL, was initiated after initial images were unavailable, highlighting the need for thorough investigation to identify potential underlying dural defects.
