Abstract
To avoid complications, CSF rhinorrhea needs to be treated appropriately. This study aimed to provide an overview of the patient data, as well as information on the causes, leak sites, contributing factors, and treatment outcomes of CSF rhinorrhea. Over a period of 1 year, a comprehensive study was carried out on patients who presented to Government General Hospital-Kakinada with an active CSF leak and did not respond to medical treatment. CT, CT_cisternography, and MR-Cisternography were used to collect data from clinical records. There were 15 cases, nine of which were traumatic leaks and six were spontaneous leaks. The cribriform plate was the most common location for leakage (8/15 cases), and all of those cases were successfully repaired using endoscopic surgery. The Keros Type II is most common based of depth of olfactory fossa. Imaging plays a crucial role. The standard treatment of CSF leak repair is endoscopic repair through endonasal route.
