Spontaneous 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 کاملPrimary 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 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 کاملSpontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea
INTRODUCTION Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leakage is usually caused by developmental abnormalities and is rare, accounting for approximately 5% of the cases of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. To the best of our knowledge, clival dysplasia-caused CSF rhinorrhea has never been reported in the neurosurgical field. CONCLUSION Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is often treated by su...
متن کاملPrimary Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhoea.
The adjective 'spontaneous' as applied to cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea simply indicates that the discharge is not an immediate or delayed result of trauma. Cases of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea can be subdivided into two distinct groups, secondary and primary. In the secondary group an obvious cause for the leak is present. This -may be some gross lesion producing erosion of t...
