May be temporary: By removing fluid, the pressure in the CSF compartment decreases, so the leak may stop for a bit.

Decreasing ICP: By lowering intracranial pressure (icp) when performing the lp, you may be lowering the tendency for the CSF to leak from a crib inform plate fracture that is responsible for the rhinorrhea.
