We describe a unique case of a 38-year-old female who presented at the emergency room due to a minor sacral fracture and local pain complicated by an initially undiagnosed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. This case emphasizes the importance of radiologists being attentive to subtle imaging findings of CSF leaks on computed tomography (CT) examinations, even in cases of low-energy traumas, as well as the complementary role of a dedicated magnetic resonance (MR) imaging protocol for such diagnosis.
