Leaking spinal fluid, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, can lead to several long-term effects if not properly treated. These may include persistent headaches, often described as "postural" headaches that worsen when upright, as well as risks of meningitis and other infections due to reduced CSF pressure.
