چکیده
CSF fistula/CSF leak is a pathological disorder that spans all ages. the primary clinical characteristic of this disorder is abnormal leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), from CSF containing compartments of the central nervous system (CNS) to the around space due to abnormal defect of the Dura matter and the skull [1], which typically appears as a clear watery leakage from nose (rhinorrhea) or ears (otorrhea). CSF which is the fluid produced and contained within the ventricular system and subarachnoid space, has many putative roles including mechanical protection, homeostasis of neural tissue [2].
