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.
In general, the spinal fluid leak is detected at the time of surgery and can be repaired. This is successful in solving the problem over 90% of the time. However, as some of the members have pointed out, a chronic leak can develop that requires more surgery.
