ABSTRACT
Background:
To study the association of CSF leak in Fronotbasal skull Fractures classified with the Burstein抯 Classification.Methods:
A prospective study was conducted from November 2014 to May 2016 in patients admitted with head injuries to KIMSDU, Karad, Maharashtra. All data was retrieved using a standardized data collection form.Results:
Out of the total 55 patients of frontobasal fracture, 39 (70.9%) were found to have CSF leak. Out of 39 patients with CSF leak 34 (61.8%) had Type I head injury, 3 (5.5%) had Type II head injury, and 2 (3.6%) had Type III head injury. Statistical analysis showed significant association between CSF leak and Burstein抯 classes of head injury patients (p< 0.05).Conclusions:
It was found that patients who had Burstein Type I injuries had a higher chance of CSF leak and most post traumatic leaks could be managed conservatively.
