My 15 old son had a decompression with Dr Oro On Feb. 7, 2013. Everything went very well and I would be happy to share our experience. On Feb 24, it looks like a CSF leak is forming a bubble in his scar and I would like to chat with people who have experienced this. Thank you, Rich-his DAD. ---

Hi Rich, Quick question… Were his stitches already taken out when the bubble started forming? I had something similar happen to me a few weeks after my second surgery but I still had my stitches in, I went to the ER, my NS met me there and he removed the stitches,drained the fluid and re-stitched me. ---

Hi Rich, just curious did this end up being a CSF leak? I am 5 weeks post op w/ Dr Oro and experiencing the same pocket of fluid on my upper incision. What did they do for you son? Thanks! Kelly
