Dr. Wang:
Well, the spinal fluid is important for the functioning of the nerves. It carries nutrients, oxygen; it’s very important for the normal functioning. The nerves are encased in spinal fluid and so, if there’s an injury to the spinal cord or the outer covering of the nerves, you can have a leakage of the cerebral spinal fluid.
