Anyone else have a perforated eardrum and spinal fluid leakage?

My husband fell off a jet ski on Saturday and fell on his ear at the time his ear hurt but not too badly. Before the accident he already had a hole in his eardrum but today he had a severe headache and went to the emergency room, they said that the hole was pulsating and that the drainage from his ear could be spinal fluid leakage which could lead to brain infections. So he will need a CT scan which will be performed by a ear nose and throat specialist tommarow hopefully but has anyone had this happen to them and if so please tell me any information you might have thanks.
yes i have had the same thing happen to me.i got rushed in hospital where they found out i had a brain abcsess due to the fact that i had a bad ear.the infection spread from the year into the brain get him to have blood test done.it is worrying i stayed in hospital for 5 weeks had a ear opp and i am still getting over it.it is scary but the brain scan will put your mind at eas but if it gets any worse get straight to a.e .good luck
