In the early 20th century, a tumultuous era was yielding geopolitical and social change. Europe at large was undergoing redefinition of borders, political structures, and economies, while rebuilding societies after World War I. At the same time, neurosurgery was emerging as a new specialty, and women were allowed to study medicine for the first time in many European countries.

We present a rare case of follow-up by neuroimaging in a 57-year-old man with a previous pneumoencephalography to evaluate ventricular tuberculosis (TB). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the whole head was performed at 3T using T1-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo (T1-MPRAGE). A full quantitative sensory testing battery on the forearm was also performed, alongside a brief clinical examination.

Introduction: Until the late 19th century, direct observation of the central nervous system was practically impossible. The discovery of X-rays in 1895 and their subsequent application in the field of medicine brought about a shift of paradigm that completely revolutionised the way in which neurology was practised. The possibility of viewing the inside of the brain had a pronounced impact on clinical practice, and enriched the diagnosis and treatment of brain pathologies in a manner that was unimaginable up until then.

The field of diagnostic and therapeutic radiology has always been characterized by constant innovation and creativity to evolve to its current form. There are numerous imaging techniques that were once prevalent but have become outdated and were replaced by the current examinations and modalities, which improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. Many of these outdated examinations were first described in the journal Radiology during its first 100 years of existence and were subsequently able to be disseminated across its vast readership to become the standard of care across the nation and the world.

We report a case of a 37-year-old woman with severe headache provoked by postural changes who was referred to the nuclear medicine department for radionuclide cisternography to demonstrate suspected cerebrospinal fluid leakage. There was an increased uptake laterally on the left paraspinal region of upper thoracal spine and posteriorly on the upper cervical region. Fused SPECT/CT images located the exact leakage site as at the first costovertebral junction level on the left side laterally and on the posterior region of the first and second cervical spine.
