@doctorsood: Would you recognize the difference between a runny nose and a CSF leak? A CSF leak happens when fluid around the brain escapes through the nose or ear, often after trauma or surgery. The fluid is usually clear, watery, and salty. Testing for beta-2 transferrin confirms the diagnosis, and early referral to an ENT or neurosurgeon helps prevent meningitis. Most leaks heal with rest, while persistent ones can be repaired safely through endoscopic surgery. Would you know when a runny nose deserves a second look?
