ABSTRACT
The empty sella syndrome is defined as the intrasella herniation of the chiasmal cistern resulting from a congenitally incompetent diaphragma sellae. In idiopathic or primary empty sella syndrome, sella remodelling occurs as a result of an anatomical variation in the diaphragma sella. The secondary empty sella syndrome occurs following surgery or irradiation of an intrasellar lesion. Empty sella syndrome is known to be rarely associated with Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. We experienced a case of secondary empty sella symdrome with CSF rhinorrhea in a 56-year old female who complained of persistent rhinorrhea through the roof of the sphenoid sinus after brain surgery due to meningioma. The CSF rhinorrhea was treated successfully with transseptal trans-sphenoidal approach.
