CSF Leak Association
(UK, SC046319) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,806.95
(UK, SC046319) We are a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation working across the UK to raise awareness of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and aiming to provide support and advice for sufferers, their families and supporters, and a resource for the medical profession. A CSF leak is a serious and often incapacitating medical condition where a hole forms in the membrane that contains the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can occur in the head or spine as result of trauma, surgery, an underlying disorder or spontaneously.When fluid leaks out, pressure and volume reduces in the skull which allows the brain to sag. As are result, sufferers often experience severe head pain, pressure, visual disturbance, hearing impairment, tinnitus, spasms, seizures and a range of other symptoms.Research shows that at least 5 in 100,000 people are affected by spontaneous CSF leaks, with many more suffering from iatrogenic leaks. The condition is generally underdiagnosed, with misdiagnosis of migraine, sinusitis, NDPH and other headache disorders being common. Our mission is to promote awareness of CSF Leaks, to support better access to much needed help, support and information and help to improve access to fast, appropriate treatment and care.

YTD Raised: £3,741.25Our precious baby girl, Aila Coull, lost her battle to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (A.M.L.) aged 16 months following five months of grueling treatment. A.M.L. accounts for less than 20% of childhood leukaemias. It is more often found in adults, where the majority of research is carried out, but behaves very differently in children. There is only a 50% survival rate with this paediatric cancer which depends hugely on each individual patient's particular genetic complications. In setting up The Aila Coull Foundation, our main aim is to help fund research into newer, better treatments and ultimately a cure for this aggressive disease. The Foundation will also from time to time support other charitable purposes or organisations connected with childhood Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.
