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;
Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks typically present with orthostatic headaches. Less commonly, spontaneous CSF leaks can present with other headache types. Nausea, vomiting, hearing disturbances, diplopia, back pain, and dizziness are not uncommon associated symptoms.

When a spontaneous CSF leak is suspected, head MRI with contrast is ordinarily the first study to obtain.
