Your spinal tap is not normal. Discuss with your Dr. Make good notes on other symptoms and share with your team.

We can do far better with correlation, if we have clinical symptomatology, and the reasons for the lumbar puncture. Could be that the nasal fluid is CSF rhinorrhea, which can be ruled out by checking glucose content. The spinal tap should have other results which can help. Suggest you provide additional data via a virtual consult at HT, where we can advise further.(www.connect@healthtap.com)
