Abstract: Progressive advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) innovations allow us to better evaluate CSF blood circulation. Therefore, MRI helps in the medical diagnosis of diseases that result from alterations of the CSF circulation. The aim of this review was to evaluate the role of MRI flow imaging technique in the assessment of the most common CFS flow disorders, we also intended to discuss main two CSF disorders, which are the hydrocephalus, and Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). A search of literature through databases; MIDLINE, and EMBASE was conducted to identified related articles to our concerned topic (Role of MRI in assessment of CSF flow disorders) we were published up to November 2016, Following Mesh terms were used in our search through the MIDLINE; MRI, PC-MRI, and MR imaging, Combined with CSF, cerebrospinal fluid, disorders, CSF flow, and hydrocephalic. We limited our search to English language published articles with human subject.MRI is not just helpful in the medical diagnosis of CSF-flow conditions, however also helps in therapy planning and post-surgery follow-up of the patients. With the advances in MRI systems, freshly established series and techniques enable precise evaluation of numerous CSF-related disorders, the most essential which is hydrocephalus.
Keywords: MRI Imaging technique, Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH).
