Alternate Names : Cerebrospinal Fluid Fistula

CSF Leak | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

CSF is a clear, watery liquid that leaks out of the nose, ear, or a wound. Headache is common with a CSF leak. It may be relieved when the person sits upright from a lying position. However, changing to this position may cause the flow of fluid to increase. Coughing or sneezing can also cause an increased flow of CSF.
