Guest Shiree Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi guys, Has anyone suffered from a csf leak after their surgery? I have had a couple of times a a small amount of water(??) come out of my nose. Not consistant at all, but just wondered if anyone had this? I am probably being a drama queen but after the SAH tend to imagine the worst case senario.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Shiree, I've not heard of this before, so it's all new to me ..... I think that you should see your Doc, rather than leave it ..... it will give you some peace of mind at least....xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasbo Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi Shiree I have had this but not post-SAH, it was post the birth of my daughter. I had a spinal immediately after the birth as the placenta didn't come away. The spot where the needle went in didn't heal so the spinal fluid leaked out. I didn't know this at the time, just got the most terrible headache (yes, again!) and couldn't lift my head off the pillow - this happened quite slowly, over three or four days - so I'm guessing that you'd be feeling a lot more in pain if that's what it is. To put it right they just took some blood from my hip and injected it into the original hole. Obviously this is only my experience and I'm not a doctor so can't say for sure.......
