Spinal Meningitis. The soft tissue surrounding your brain is called the meninges. You do not want fluid on the brain.There is a thin coating on the brain called the dura it is a coating that helps protect the brain from shock you are hit in the head. Fluid on the brain would cause pressure and that could cause brain damage. Fluid on the brain is a disease called Hydrocephalus


Difficult to answer this question. There are spaces in the brain (called ventricles) that are normally filled with fluid. Also, the brain and spinal cord and its nerve roots are normally surrounded by fluid (called cerebrospinal fluid).
Meningitis is an infection of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. "Loosing" fluid does not necessarily mean infection.
Hydrocephalus is when the fluid spaces in the brain are too large because of too much fluid.
Sometimes, due to an injury and a fracture of the floor of the skull, spinal fluid can leak out through the nose. This can lead to an infection. brain hemorge
