CSF LEAKAGE EVALUATION (NASAL/EAR DISCHARGE) Test Cost INR:7500 Symptoms Diagnosis
CSF leakage evaluation is a test conducted to detect the presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in nasal or ear discharge. CSF is a clear, colorless liquid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and protection. It is important to detect any leakage of CSF as it can lead to serious complications such as meningitis, brain abscess, and encephalitis.
Symptoms of CSF Leakage
The symptoms of CSF leakage may vary depending on the location of the leakage. Some common symptoms include:
- Clear, watery discharge from the nose or ears
- Headache
- Stiff neck
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of smell or taste
- Ringing in the ears
- Facial numbness or weakness
- Visual disturbances
Diagnosis of CSF Leakage
To diagnose CSF leakage, a doctor may perform a physical exam and take a medical history. They may also conduct some tests, such as:
- Nasal endoscopy: This involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera into the nose to examine the nasal passages and sinuses.
- CT scan: This is an imaging test that uses X-rays to create detailed images of the inside of the body.
- MRI: This is another imaging test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body.
- Beta-2 transferrin test: This is a laboratory test that can detect the presence of CSF in nasal or ear discharge. It is considered the most accurate test for diagnosing CSF leakage.
