A member asked:
Symptoms of recurring intermittent csf leak.had mri scan its inconclusive... what else could the fluidfrom my nose be?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid: If you have not had an accident the fluid would be unlikely to be CSF. An MRI would not inherently rule out a leak. The fluid can be collected and sent for analysis. Other causes for the fluid would likely be allergic or vasomotor rhintis.
