Symptoms of DURAL FISTULA
Dural fistulas usually are discovered by noticing fluid leaking from the nose, the ear or down the throat. They may occur spontaneously or after trauma. Symptoms of meningitis may be the first signs. These include headache, fever, stiff neck, nausea and vomiting. Surgical procedures may produce iatrogenic dural fistulas either in the spine or in the head. In the back, spinal fluid leaks may lead to headaches and swelling in the back.
