Objective:
To research the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrospinal rhinorrhea.
Method:
Fifteen cerebrospinal rhinorrhea cases were retrospectively analyzed.
Result:
All 15 cases were cured in follow-up from 3 months to 5 years. Different therapeutic approaches were adopted in these cases: conservative therapeutic (4 cases), external nose approach (7 cases), and endoscopic approach (4 cases).
Conclusion:
There are several advantages in adopting endoscopic method such as operating simply, small wound, fixing cerebrospinal rhinorrhea position accurately, and fast post-operation recovering. In some cases adopting external nose approach meanwhile can make up the shortcoming of endoscope and improving operation success probability.
