A CSF leak occurs when a tear or hole forms in the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. This allows the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which supports and bathes the central nervous system, to seep out. The following are proven causes of a CSF leak: Certain head, brain, or spinal surgeries; Major trauma, head and spinal injuries; Minor trauma, such as a sneeze, a violent cough or twist; Placement of tubes for epidural anaesthesia or pain medications; Lumbar punctures and spinal taps;
A CSF leak as a result of trauma to the head usually is managed with placement of a lumbar drain and bed rest. A lumbar drain is a small tubing placed in the back that allows drainage of small amounts of CSF. This allows diversion of the brain fluid to minimize pressure through any injured areas so that they can heal.gain if the leak site cannot be found on imaging studies, dye placed into the spinal fluid, which mixes with the brain fluid, can be placed at the beginning of the repair surgery to identify the leak under direct visualization.
