CSF Rhinorrea
 

Hello new here and to CSF Leaks

My story, orbital decompression in Feb 2012, after waking up from surgery noticed a headache and could not smell or taste anything. Dr said not sure about the smell or taste but headache is normal.

2-3weeks after surgery my smell came back and I was smelling a foul smell and taste, headaches still there and after the blood clot cleard I had a clear fluid drip from the nose and a sensation as if something was in my eye. Went to my Dr's stand in because my dr had a medical emergency. He took out some stitches that were poking the eye. Gave me steroid drops and sent home. Headache still there.

2 weeks later I called the dr everyday of the week complaining about a headache no returned phone calls. On the weakened I called his cell hone dizzy and nausea started. Sent for a CT scan showing a breach from the cribiform plate in to the sinus.

So here I sit today waiting for a neuro ENT appointment to figure out how to repair my leak.

Hello & Welcome!!
