ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize our experience in managing cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) rhinorrhea. Methods 82 cases of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea treated in our department from 1995 to 1999 were reviewed retrospectively. 61 were male and 21 were female.They ranged from 2 to 82 years old.CSF leak was caused by trauma in 43 cases,iatrogenic injury in 18 cases and spontaneous leak occurred in 21 cases. Results 36 cases underwent surgical repair.The closure rate was 86 11%.Otorhinolaryngologists underwent 25 cases,and 23 cases succeeded (92%).The department of neurology underwent 11 cases,and 8 cases succeeded (72 7%). Conclusions The repair of CSF leak through transnasal extracranial approach can obtain better therapeutic results,especially through intranasal endoscopy.
