I am concerned i may have a csf leak. what are the most common signs?

?traumatic head inj.: Most common cause of leaking spinal fluid in your age group is trauma. If you have injured the base of the skull at the cribriform plate, you might experience a clear watery discharge from the nose, and less commonly, trauma to the ear might result in similar leaking. The fluid can be chemically analyzed, and differentiate between CSF and sinus. See your doctor soon.

Headache: Most come sign is headache, which gets worse while standing throughout the day, and then goes away when the patient is recumbent. Patients can progress to cranial nerve deficient, degree consciousness, and coma.
