How is a cerebrospinal fluid leak treated?

  1. While numerous CSF leaks might heal on their own and needs only a period of bed rest, patients with symptoms of the condition ought to visit their doctor because of the increased risk of meningitis that is related with cranial CSF leaks.
  2. For cranial cerebrospinal fluid releases that don't respond to conservative treatments, surgery might be important to fix leak. We have extensive experience in the utilization of nasal endoscopy, which is less invasive than traditional surgical methods.
  3. For spinal CSF leaks that won't respond to bed rest and other conservative treatment, an epidural blood patch or epidural patching with fibrin glue are treatment options. An epidural patch includes injecting the patient's own blood into the spinal canal. The subsequent blood clot then patches the hole where the leak occurs.
  4. If an epidural blood patch doesn't work, other surgical repairs might be needed.
  5. If the high-pressure hydrocephalus is causing the CSF leak, the condition may recur until shunts are utilized to assist with draining the excess fluid.
