Blake Resolution Designates “Spinal CSF Leak Awareness Week”
Friday, January 24, 2017
HARRISBURG, January 24, 2017 — State Sen. John Blake (D-Lackawanna/Luzerne/Monroe) today announced that his Senate Resolution designating the week of February 26 through March 4, 2017 as “Spinal CSF Leak Awareness Week” in Pennsylvania was unanimously adopted by the Senate.
Spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, also known as intracranial hypotension, is a significant, disabling and underdiagnosed but treatable cause of new-onset headache.
“It is imperative that we continue to raise awareness and understanding of spinal CSF leak to ensure the proper diagnosis, treatment and best possible outcomes for all patients,” Blake said. “Raising awareness and finding more successful treatment options for this particular disease is especially important to me as I have two members of my Senate staff whose family members suffer from spinal CSF leaks.”
