CSF: Cerebrospinal fluid is a normal part of your body. Everyone has fluid surrounding their brain and running down the spinal canal. If they didn't tell you that there was a problem with your MRI or spinal fluid it sounds like you don't need to worry about that. If your headaches become more frequent or severe, follow up with your physician.
