No: it can cause fibrosis at the surface of the brain that can lead to bad consequences. You need that fixed.

Will my CSF leak headache ever go away? It's been over a year now. A resident punctured my dural while trying to place an epidural. I've tried everything from blood patches to muscle relaxers. Mri and x-rays show nothing abnormal. Yet pain persists.

I recently developed Arachnoiditis from a blood patch (clumped nerves L5-S1). About three weeks ago I notice a small amount of CSF leak in right nostril during the night. Fluid would come out the left side, off and on for years until a craniotomy in 2009.
