ABSTRACT
CSF leaks in the ear are the result of an abnormal communication between subarachnoid and tympano mastoid areas, most of then as a result of trauma (90%). They mean a lisk of meningitis (4-50%) directly related to the etiology. Our aim is to present the CSF leak cases seen in our hospital in the last 2 years and a revision of their management. The main factor for a sucessful surgical repair is to use a multilayer tecnhique with a sucess rate close to 100%.
