Symptoms of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks. If you have a cerebrospinal fluid leak, the clear fluid may drain from your nose or ear(s). The most common symptom is a headache that improves when you lie down and worsens when you sit up. The headache may be accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and a stiff neck.
Spinal Fluid Leaks. The spinal cord and nerves are covered by a protective watertight sac of tissue (dura mater). During a spinal surgery, it is not uncommon for a rupture or tear to occur in this dura mater. If this happens, spinal fluid will begin to leak. If the tear is noticed during the surgery, it is repaired and usually heals uneventfully. If a tear occurs and is not noticed, the tear may heal on its own.
