This Man Experiencing the Terrible Condition of the Ear Always Wet Because Of Excessive Brain Liquid

A strange but terrible case happened to a man named Mark Hoffman from Indiana, USA. It has a condition where its ears are always wet as it continues to release fluids non-stop. Mark himself claimed to have visited dozens of doctors to treat this condition, however, he never got the right solution.

It all started in 2006 when the newly awakened Mark realizes that his right ear spends a lot of fluid making his pillow soaked. Initially, this only happens occasionally. However, over time this fluid keeps coming out non-stop. After 10 years of looking for answers to what caused it, last year Mark met a doctor who actually mentioned that the fluid that came out of his ears was not a dirt fluid, but a brain fluid that leaked out due to leaking in the skull bone.

A neuroscientist from Indiana University School of Medicine named Dr. Rick Nelson mentioned that Mark's case is likely to be caused by obesity or obesity. For information, cerebrospinal fluid or cerebrospinal fluid is usually already wrapped in pockets around the brain and along the spinal cord very well. It's just that, if a person is hit by an accident or has ever done a major operation, it could be a very strong pouch that is hollow. However, for Mark's case, this fluid leak is caused by the thinning of his skull bone.

Dr. Nelson says that in the past 10 years, similar cases like the Mark case have tended to increase. He also suspects if this is related to the trend of more and more people affected by obesity and sleep apnea. If sleep apnea occurs, the pressure on the head will increase significantly and this may affect the thickness of the skull bone.

Conditions leaking cerebrospinal fluid is not dangerous as long as it does not cause infection, but finally, doctors advise Mark to perform surgery in December 2016 ago. Since then his ears are no longer liquid
