CSF leak surgery did help headaches
by horselip, Jan 03, 2009 03:11AM
Hi-
I had surgery in late November to plug up the CSF leak. First I had a lot of testing to see where the leak was. The surgeon was an ENT surgeon but a Pituitary surgeon was available if they need to enter into the sella region.
The surgery was done through my nose and a patch was made using sinus tissue. Two nights in the hospital. Finally feel healed for the most part. I've gone from having moderate to severe constant headaches to almost none. Been able to go off of Morphine and pain meds. I did have a sinus infection that required two rounds of antibiotics. I am finally coming round and feeling better now. Thought that this was worth sharing.
