Method for diagnosing cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia

The objective of the present invention to provide a method for accurately and safely specifying a leakage part of cerebrospinal fluid in a cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia patient, and a method for effectively treating cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia with utilizing the specifying method. The method for specifying a leakage part of cerebrospinal fluid in a cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia patient according to the present invention is characterized in comprising the steps of injecting saline into a bone-marrow space of a spine of the cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia patient, and detecting the cerebrospinal fluid or the injected saline leaked from a dura mater of the spine to specify the leakage part of the cerebrospinal fluid.
