Evaluation of Transnasal EndoscoPic repair of Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhoea
Michael Monir Khalil Ghabour;
Abstract
Summary and Conclusion
CSF rhinorrhoea is a symptom of failed containment of the CSF to its subarachnoid space. It indicates a communication with the subarachnoid space and therefore dura and bone to permit exit of CSF to the nose.
The causes can be divided into traumatic and non traumatic (spontaneous). Furtherly, the traumatic group is divided into acute and delayed, while the non traumatic group is includes two subdivisions according to the intracranial pressure (ICP), those with high pressure and a normal pressure
group.
Management of CSF rhinorrhoea is controversial but can be divided into a conservative and surgical treatment. Should the conservative treatment fail, the surgical decision must be considered to avoid the most dangerous complication, which is
the risk of meningitis.
The surgical treatment for closure of CSF leak is divided into intra-cranial approach and extra-cranial one. Recently the trans-nasal endoscopic technique is introduced in the management of CSF leak.
The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of trans-nasal endoscopic technique to repair CSF rhinorrhoea.
