Make sure it isn't brain fluid...

 My elementary school principal had a similar problem, and they ended up sealing one of his sinus cavities permanently.

"An endoscoping procedure through her nose"... No man, I could never be a doctor

What's gross about a nose?  You know what a proctologist does, right?

It's not the orifice itself, it's the image if equipment being put into it to access internal anatomy... Somehow going through the nose to possibly fiddle with someone's brain is one of things I find disturbing.

Actually Webster, in the article I think it says it only happened when she bent over.
I'm just shocked it didn't hurt or nothing... the crack in her sinus cavity I mean.

 Technically, there's no (or at least very few) pain receptors that deep inside the head. She may have felt something, but I doubt her brain would have identified it as pain. When you have a headache, it's actually the increased pressure from the inflammation that you feel, which eventually gets bad enough that you feel it in areas with more pain receptors. Since the cracks developed slowly over time she probably never noticed the change - it wouldn't have taken all that much pressure, applied over a length of time, to weaken the tissue in that area enough to allow the fluid to leak out.

Oh great, you've taken "brain fluid leaking out through nose" and made it sound worse.

You're right. I was thinking post-nasal drip. It could still leak down her throat, and she might not notice.
(Heh, yeah it would leak out when she bent over, but she's straighten out, I would think something would go down her throat.)

A mind is a terrible thing to taste.
