Having no spinal fluid, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is a serious medical condition that can indicate a rupture or leak in the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This can lead to increased risk of infections, neurological issues, or damage to the central nervous system. Symptoms may include severe headaches, nausea, and changes in consciousness. Prompt medical evaluation and treatment are essential to address the underlying causes and prevent complications.
