The doctors told Jackson that she was losing an estimated half-pint of the fluid per day through her nose, according to KETV. But after years of coping with this problem and the headaches associated with it, she turned to the ENT team at Nebraska Medicine. Jackson told KETV that in 2013, she was involved in a car accident — she was rear-ended, causing her to slam her head on the dashboard.

A Nebraska Medicine surgical team performed a procedure last month to repair Kendra Jackson's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak.
