It can allow cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to leak out of its normal closed space. Dural tear is most often discussed as a complication of spine surgery, but it can also occur with trauma or certain medical conditions. Clinicians use the term to describe the finding, guide management, and communicate expected monitoring and follow-up."}
