Migraine Canada is pleased to partner with Spinal CSF Leaks Canada to present a special educational webinar featuring Dr. Farnaz Amoozegar, MD, MSc, FRCPC neurologist and headache specialist.
When Migraine Isn't the Whole Story: Understanding Spinal CSF Leak
Migraine is one of the most common neurological conditions. While most people living with migraine do not have a spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, new, persistent, or changing symptoms can sometimes signal the need for further assessment.
Join headache neurologist Dr. Farnaz Amoozegar for an educational webinar exploring spinal CSF leak, how it differs from migraine, and why recognizing the signs can be important. You'll gain a better understanding of when symptoms may warrant a conversation with your healthcare provider and how earlier recognition can lead to more timely diagnosis and treatment.
What You'll Learn

What cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is and the important role it plays in the brain and spine
What causes a spinal CSF leak and its common symptoms
How a spinal CSF leak differs from migraine- and when the two conditions can coexist
How a spinal CSF leak is diagnosed and treated
Practical take-home messages to help you recognize when symptoms may require further medical evaluation
