Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea

چکیده
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 surgery, and a transsphenoidal approach repair is the main surgical method used, offering the advantages of less trauma, fewer complications, rapid postoperative recovery, and low recurrence rate.

Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea indirectly caused by brain tumor--report of two cases and review of the literature.
Two cases of nontraumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea were presumed to be an indirect manifesta tion of brain tumor. One patient had a parietal convexity meningioma and the other a cerebello pontine angle neurinoma. Following excision of the tumors these patients spontaneously developed cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, which disappeared after the repair of fistulas at the base of the frontal ...
