Nasal discharge: With this history I would advise you to immediately seek medical attention preferably through an emergency department. Your history of head trauma, leakage of fluid with probable contamination could mean there is injury to the brain.

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.

I've started seeing dark green chunks that resemble cauliflower when I blow my nose. These chunks have a very bad odor. I also have a bad smell inside my face and occasional light green discharge. Does this sound fungal? What should I do?
