Cerebrospinal fluid leak from ear

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?

    Hello,

    If you have questions about the symptom you are experiencing, you may want to contact the American Cancer Society's National Cancer Information Center. Cancer Information Specialists are available 24 hours a day at 1-800-227-2345 or by using the "Contact ACS" link at the top of the page.

    Take care and be well,

    I had stage II and completed treatment-radiation in Nov 2003 and chemo in March 2004. I am experiencing ear congestion, mostly in my right ear. What are your symptons?
