Rose, I was wondering if you had had a solution to this? The dental procedure, CSF leak, and being on warfarin all match my husband's current dilemma, so I'm curious what you found out in all of this. Thank you.

Thank you so much for answering my question..This has caused a lot of pain, the csf leak was patched, but my INR was 1.2 and it didnt hold. ( I am on coumadin & wasnt bridged long enough) Do you know of any cases besides mine that this has happened??
Thanks again
Rose
Hi!
CSF leak usually occurs due to para-nasal sinuses getting damaged during a dental procedure. So yes, CSF leak after a dental procedure is possible. Also, CSF leak can occur without any identifiable cause at times. However simple procedures like teeth cleaning, caries filling usually does not cause CSF leaks.
Take care!
