Connie Deline and Dr. Wouter Schievink discuss the symptoms of Cerebrospinal Fluid CSF Leaks. The most common symptom of a CSF leak is a severe positional headache. Deline, explains that the symptoms would lessen when lying down and intensify when sitting upright. Her pain would be localized to the back of her head at the base of the skull. Dr. Schievink says that little is known about how common CSF leaks are which are only diagnosed in patients with significant symptoms while many patients go undiagnosed.
