Anyone ever had a csf leak and needed surgery? If so did you're patch break?
Yes. I was diagnosed with a CSF leak due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension. there are a lot of people in this chat group with similar diagnoses.
Did you’re patch ever blow?
Do you mean the patch that was done to repair the leak? No, I don’t think so, but honestly I’m not sure.
yes, my brother has iih and had a shunt put in his back, however high pressure caused fluid to seep out his back, this landed him in hospital for 9 weeks and due to mistreatment of the nurses he developed bacterial meningitis…
if you are leaking get checked out
I had a hole in my sphenoid sinus due to the high pressure. I had the brain surgery but I thought I blew the patch.
