[Cerebrospinal rhinorrhea 8 years after cranial injury]

The authors present a case of posttraumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea developing 8 years after skull trauma. The rarity is discussed of the development of remote traumatic rhinorrhoea without previous symptoms of cerebrospinal fluid fistula, and the diagnostic difficulties are stressed in cases of such late rhinorrhoea. A new preparation used for plastic operation on the anterior cranial fossa floor is described.
