Spinal CSF leaks

I sent all imaging and info to get an appointment to the CSF leak Center on 2/4/24 and was placed on wait list. My symptoms are getting worse and worse . When I first called I was told late spring early summer. When I called a second time I was told late fall early winter. I have an MRI that shows that I have a leak. I understand there is a wait list but wondering why the dates keep changing. I have been accepted at another major leak center but Mayo is my first choice. Is there anything that I can do to obtain an appointment sooner as my symptoms are getting much worse.

@deltiemh, I'm sorry to hear that you are getting mixed messages on appointment availability. That is frustrating. Over the last few years, there has been an unusually high demand for appointments in many departments at Mayo Clinic. Most departments schedule out three months in advance. Availability within that 12-week window varies based on the number of patients requesting appointments for specific areas or providers.

Are you seeking an appointment at the Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Florida? Have you contacted them directly? Phone: 904-953-0856
