For 4 years I have been battleing fluid in my right ear. I have been in and out of the doctor trying to figure out what was going on. I finally had a CT scan done 3 weeks ago and got a call that night from the doctor saying I need to get in to have a MRI done. They found a lot of fluid in my middle ear only on the one side along with a cephaloceles of the petrous apex in the meckles cave. I went in yesterday and they cut into my eardrum to get some of the fluid to check for a CSF leak. I am so scared and wonder if anyone else has suffered from this same thing??
