Endoscopic Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) Rhinorrhea: Clinical Experiences

Abstract

Objective: We present our experience of endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study including 46 patients with CSF rhinorrhea, who were mana- ged using endoscopy at the Otorhinolaryngology Department of Ege University Hospital, between March 2010 and November 2016. The cause of CSF rhinorrhea, localization and size of the defect, repair style, and recurrence were investigated. Results: Etiologically, 30 patients were traumatic and 16 were nontraumatic. Overall, 23% patients had a history of meningitis before admission to our clinic. The ethmoid roof, sphenoid sinus, and frontal recess were the commonest regions of defects. There was recurrence in 5 patients who were endoscopically managed. Conclusion: Because of the advances in endoscopic sinus surgery, endoscopic intracranial procedures, and anterior skull base surgery, otorhinolaryngologists could frequently diagnose CSF rhinorrhea. Appropriate management and endoscopic techniques led to successful results.
