CSF rhinorrhea complicated by recurrent pyogenic meningitis due to congenital anterior skull base defect: Report of two cases
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is the result of an osseous defect at the skull base coupled with a disruption of the dura mater and arachnoid with a resultant pressure gradient leading to the CSF leak. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is a potentially dangerous condition as the risk of intracranial infection is increased if it persists. Therefore, accurate preoperative localization of...

We report two children presenting with intermittent CSF rhinorrhea and recurrent meningitis. CT scan showed transethmoidal meningoencephalocele.
متن کاملClosure of the sigmoid sinus in lateral skull base surgery
Closure of the sigmoid-jugular complex is generally planned during various surgical procedures on the skull base, either to repair a jugular foramen lesion or as the oncological boundary of the resection. A series of 218 cases of skull base tumour surgeries was analysed in which closure of the sigmoid-jugular complex was systematically planned (bilaterally in one case) in patients treated for j...
متن کاملMinimally Invasive Multiport Surgery of the Lateral Skull Base
OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive procedures minimize iatrogenic tissue damage and lead to a lower complication rate and high patient satisfaction. To date only experimental minimally invasive single-port approaches to the lateral skull base have been attempted. The aim of this study was to verify the feasibility of a minimally invasive multiport approach for advanced manipulation capability and vis...
متن کاملPseudo-Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea Resulting from Aberrant Cross-Innervation of Trigeminal and Facial Nerves following Skull Base Surgery
Objectives Pseudo-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is a rare phenomenon, presumed to result from aberrant autonomic reinnervation of the paranasal mucosa following injury to the greater superficial petrosal nerve or periarterial plexus. In this report, we discuss the case of a postoperative patient with pseudo-CSF rhinorrhea exacerbated by chewing and propose a novel mechanism of pseudo-CSF...
