Fluid leaking from the nose or external auditory canal must first be positively identified as CSF. Drops of fluid from a CSF leak placed on absorbent filter paper may result in the double-ring sign, which is a central circle of blood and an outer clear ring of CSF. Results of glucose, ...

Another sign of a CSF leak is constant drainage of a clear fluid from the nose and ears, especially with any sort of head movements like bending forward. Some people also complain of a metallic taste in the mouth. Ringing in the ears is also sometimes noticed in people with a CSF leak....
Beta-2 transferrin—this is a protein present only in CSF. This test may be done if it is suspected that trauma to the central nervous system has caused a leak of CSF from the central nervous system. A sample of fluid leaking from the nose or ears is collected and tested. A positive ...
Nonstandard results.High amounts of protein can show a health condition, as can the color of the fluid. Healthy spinal fluid is clear, so any red, yellow, orange, brown, or cloudy coloration could mean an infection, leaking blood, or another health issue. ...
In this study, we investigated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of 104 proteins in 307 asymptomatic 70-year-olds from the H70 Gothenburg Birth Cohort Studies using a multiplexed antibody- and bead-based technology. Results The protein levels were first correlated with the core AD CSF biomarker con...

IntroductionSpontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a misdiagnosed condition characterized by low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume and an orthostatic headache that worsens with upright posture due to CSF leak at spinal dural defects. SIH due to CSF leak at multiple spinal levels is a rare ...

Although known for a long time, PPDH could be linked to an arachnoidal bleb as a cause of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. We report on surgical findings and impressive findings with low-flow CSF leakage in the context of an arachnoidal bleb. Clinical presentation: We report a 42-year-...
