Chronic Headache Mystery - Hidden Stream: The Untold Story of a CSF Leak
This documentary follows Dr. Bern Hard’s journey through a spinal CSF leak, a debilitating yet treatable condition that remains widely under-recognised. Through personal experience and expert insight, the film exposes the urgent need for earlier diagnosis, equitable access to care, and full implementation of the UK consensus guidelines. Why This Matters Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) must be treated as a medical emergency, not a rare curiosity.
