Acetazolamide, Short Bed Rest, and Subfascial Off-Suction Drainage in Preventing Persistent Spinal Fluid Leaks from Incidental Dural Tears

AbdelFatah, Mohamed;

Abstract


 Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak might occur after the repair of dural tears. Acetazolamide lowers intradural pressure by decreasing CSF production. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of persistent CSF leak from incidental dural tears after using acetazolamide, short bed rest, and subfascial off-suction drainage.
