Tags: thoracic, anterior, spontaneous, csf, leak

Has anyone suffered a csf leak in the thoracic anterior level of their spine T6-T7. If so please let me know how,who and if they were able to fix this . I have had blood patches etc and none of this has worked.I have been told it is too risky, yet the symptoms persist. I dread to think I will have this for life.
