CSF Leakage

[Joy]

I am not sure I understand about the CSF Leakage.    Can someone explain it to me?  What are the symptoms?  How can you tell if it is CSF Leakage or Sinus drainage?
Thanks

Hi Joy
  There is a test strip to test for CSF fluid.
  CSF leakage is generally worse when one tips the head down and forward. It may also be at the surgical incision. Many report CSF fluid as having a salty taste and totally disimilar ( as compared to sinus drainage ) to what they've ever experienced.
  CSF leakage is generally accompanied by tremendous or chronic headache, depending on the severity of the leak.
  I hope you don't have CSF leak!! Nor anyone on the forum!
