How can cerebrospinal fluid leaks affect the nervous system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May cause headaches: Most spinal fluid issues of this sort follow lumbar punctures and can be fixed via a blood patch. Far less commonly, postural orthostatic headaches can be due to spontaneous damage within the neuraxis which can cause headaches and/or dizziness.
