Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo longitudinal en el Hospital Clinicoquirúrgico Provincial Docente Manuel Ascunce Domenech de Camagüey, en el período de enero a diciembre del 2004, para evaluar el manejo diagnóstico y terapéutico de la rinorrea traumática de líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR). Se seleccionaron previo consentimiento informado 16 pacientes provenientes del Servicio de Urgencias. De estos, 11 fueron hombres y el 32 por ciento se encontraba en las edades comprendidas entre 15 y 29 años. Se determinaron síntomas asociados, estudios complementarios, tratamiento médico-quirúrgico, complicaciones y evolución. Se realizó estadística descriptiva e inferencial. Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron las cefaleas (87,5 por ciento), anosmia y vértigos. Los métodos diagnósticos más efectivos fueron la inspección visual (100,0 por ciento), la TAC simple y la rinoscopia. Los tratamientos más frecuentes fueron la antibioticoterapia y reducción de fracturas Lefort y nasoetmoidales con 62,5 por ciento y 87,5 por ciento, respectivamente. El 81,3 por ciento de los casos evolucionó favorablemente, solo 2 (12,5 por ciento) se complicaron con meningitis(AU)
