Cerebrospinal fluid leak from ear

Apr 07, 2005 - 5:27 pm
I had nasopharyngeal carcinoma (stage IV - T2N3) in 2002, and I completed induction chemotherapy and IMRT radiation in 2003. I've done well since. Now I have a cerebrospinal fluid leak from my right ear. I have suffered no head trauma so I suppose the insult to my dura is probably from the radiation. Anyone else experience this? John |

That would be a question I would ask the doc if I were you! I hope everything is OK. Are you sure that is what it is?? Well, I have no experience w/ your type of cancer, I do have an annoying long term effect that I am going to post on here though. Hopefully someone with more experience can help you.

I also had the same kind of cancer, and have the drainage from my right ear. I lost hearing in both ears,,and the drainage caused problems with my aide.Not only with my aide,,but I would also have ear infections. Ocassionally, I will use drops prescribed by the doctor. It doesn't seem like anything works permanently. However, I am recovered from the cancer,,just dealing with the side effects.
