Summary

Post-surgical cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks after skull base surgery, though treatable, pose infection risks. Endoscopic repair is common, but severe cases may require open craniotomy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Skull base surgery, while effective, can lead to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, a problematic complication.
  • Postoperative CSF leaks, particularly CSF rhinorrhea, present a significant risk of central nervous system infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics disturbances following skull base surgical and endoscopic procedures.
  • To highlight the persistent challenge of postoperative CSF leaks and their potential for serious neurological complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of contemporary literature on the diagnosis and management of CSF leaks.
  • Discussion of advancements in imaging technologies for accurate CSF fistula localization.
  • Emphasis on the knowledge required to interpret various diagnostic tests.

Main Results:

  • Imaging technologies have improved the localization of CSF fistulas.
  • The complexity of diagnostic tests necessitates specialized physician knowledge.
  • Transnasal endoscopic treatment is a common approach for CSF leaks.

Conclusions:

  • Otolaryngologists frequently manage CSF leaks via transnasal endoscopic repair.
  • Severe, recurrent, or complex CSF leaks may necessitate open surgical repair via craniotomy.
