Spinal Fluid Leaks. The spinal cord and nerves are covered by a protective watertight sac of tissue (dura mater). During a spinal surgery, it is not uncommon for a rupture or tear to occur in this dura mater. If this happens, spinal fluid will begin to leak. If the tear is noticed during the surgery, it is repaired and usually heals uneventfully. If a tear occurs and is not noticed, the tear may heal on its own.
