Cerebrospinal Fluid leak occurs when the protective fluid surrounding the brain escapes through a small opening in the skull base and drains through the nose. This condition may follow head injury, previous surgery, or sometimes occur spontaneously. It usually presents as clear watery discharge from the nose that increases on bending forward or straining. In Nashik, Dr. Chaitanya C Bharadwaj provides CSF leak repair services focused on safe closure and prevention of infection.
Diagnosis involves nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and laboratory analysis of the leaking fluid to confirm that it is cerebrospinal fluid. Once identified, treatment is planned based on the site and size of the leak. Modern endoscopic skull-base surgery techniques allow surgeons to repair the defect through the nose without external cuts. This approach helps reduce hospital stay and supports quicker recovery when combined with rest and medical care afterward.
Prompt treatment is important because untreated CSF leaks increase the risk of meningitis and repeated infections. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting, straining, or blowing the nose after repair to allow proper healing. With accurate diagnosis and careful follow-up, long-term results are usually very good.
