Thankfully I don't think that this is Romeo's problem. Mainly since there is no mechanism to suggest such an injury has occurred. In addition to the blow to the head you asked about another common cause would be a person falling from a height and landing on their feet, legs straight. It would take a serious force to cause a basal skull fracture. There would likely be other signs and symptoms too.

For information, in practise when you are unlucky enough to see CSF I am told it is usually mixed with blood, so rather than seeing a first aid manual described "straw coloured fluid" you're likely to see a kind of watery looking blood.

Romeo - if it doesn't clear up or it's concerning you go and see your GP.
Seriously I am going to have to check on this one, adults can have some CSF leaks and it is not that bad except for increased risk of meningitis.

I could be wrong and completely got the wrong end of the stick in the lectures, but it was on something really new if I remember correctly.

I did fall asleep on a few occasions in lectures, MY BAD!

Ah, that's not something I've ever heard of but sounds like you could well be right. I'll be very interested to hear what you find out.

For info. my 'knowledge' is largely restricted to pre-hospital emergency medicine that I've learnt through work with a couple of voluntary first aid organisations. This means I tend to know stuff about serious acute conditions (traumatic and medical) and the trivial (e.g. dealing with a minor cut), but not so much the in between. Out of curiousity (and if this isn't being too nosey) what sort of course were you taking when you heard about this CSF leakage thing in lectures?

I routinely analyse CSF. The lecture in question was related to putting CSF up for electrophoresis for beta-transferrin, I think, to determine if it is CSF or serum or ?.

He also covered this other really new category of diseases, the glycolsylation disorders, carbohydrate markers are not put on the cell surface correctly.

It was for my master's degree in clinical biochemistry.

Biochemestry? A couple of friends of mine did biochemestry degrees and I remember their textbooks looking really scary; there just seemed to be sooooo much information! Organic chemistry at A level was bad enough for me (I'm a physicist professionally).
