We describe four distinct spinal (neo-)membranes in association with spinal CSF leaks. Formation of these membranes, or emergence by herniation of arachnoid through a dural defect, constitutes a specific pathoanatomic feature of patients with SIH and CSF leaks. Recognition of these membranes is of paramount importance for diagnosis and treatment of patients with spinal CSF leaks.
