Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak occurs when there is a tear or hole in the membranes surrounding the brain or spinal cord, allowing the clear fluid that surrounds and cushions those organs to escape.
Spinal CSF leaks develop due to tears in the soft tissues surrounding the spinal cord.
Can be cause by blunt trauma to the head or ears.
