Primary spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leaks located at the clivus
Transclival meningoceles and primary spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks at the clivus are extremely rare lesions and only few of them have been reported in the literature. We report here six cases of transclival primary spontaneous CSF leaks through the clivus. A retrospective case study was performed. We reviewed six cases involving sinonasal CSF leaks located at the clivus treated be...
متن کاملSpontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak at the clivus
We present a case report of a 60-year-old woman with a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak at the clivus, obesity and no history of trauma. Follow-up imaging scans confirmed enlargement of the defect within the posterior clival framework to the size of 16 × 9 × 4 mm with a suspected meningocerebral hernia. The surgeons used the "two nostrils - four hands" endoscopic operating technique. The pa...
متن کاملEndoscopic transnasal repair of cerebrospinal fluid leaks in the area of the paranasal sinuses and clivus.
5 patients who presented with CSF leaks between the years 2002-2009 were evaluated according to the etiology of the leak. An active CSF leak was confirmed in all patients and the site identified. A repair was planned using either vascularized septal mucosal flaps or free grafts of nasal mucosa. Preparation of the graft recipient site is important. A tissue glue either Tisseal or in the later ca...
متن کاملSpontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leakage through fistulas at the clivus repaired with endoscopic endonasal approach
Background: Causes of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage are primarily traumatic or iatrogenic in origin. In contrast, spontaneous CSF leakage is somewhat rare, and detection of the fistula can be challenging. Meningitis associated with CSF leakage can be life threatening. It is therefore critical to surgically repair the fistula once the underlying cause has been accurately identified. Spontane...
متن کاملTraumatic cerebrospinal fluid leaks.
This article discusses the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. An overview of traumatic CSF leaks is presented, and both conservative and operative therapies are reviewed. Management decisions are discussed based on the current literature. Controversial clinical topics are addressed, including the use of prophylactic antibiotics and the timing o...
