Hi, I had suboccipital craniotomy and a C1 laminectomy in mid-August. In the beginning of October I was diagnosed with a (late) post-surgery CSF leak. The fluid is pooling in the back of my head and the upper part of my neck. Has anyone else had this? Being it's so long after the surgery my surgeon thinks I may have a popped stitch internally.... He's trying to hold off on exploratory surgery, but I'm tentatively scheduled for Nov. 14th. My surgeon is hoping the leak will resolve itself by then, and I won't need surgery. He said if I'm still leaking after the surgery, I may need a shunt put in to drain the fluid. Just looking to see if anyone here has gone through this, and what to expect? Thanks
