What Does Fluid Leakage In Brain Inidicate?
My daughter came back from her neurologist appointment where she has been told to see a neurosurgeon. In her MRI they found that fluid had leaked from somewhere in the brain and is sitting on the spinal cord. This has been causing pain and an inability to use her right arm correctly. This happened after a rotator cuff surgery and tendon reattachment a year ago. The 4 neurologists claimed they had never seen this before. They told her to contact him tomorrow. Is there someone who can explain this to me?arlene Johnson
