title: Gadolinium enhancement of spinal subdural collection on magnetic resonance imaging after lumbar puncture.
abstract: We report a 35-year-old male with an unusual contrast-enhancing sterile spinal subdural collection on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), apparently occurring as a complication of lumbar puncture. Follow-up MRI after 4 weeks demonstrated spontaneous resolution of the collection without intervening treatment.
