Abstract
A skull- base defect with grade-3 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak following a pituitary macroadenoma removal is rare and challenging. We provide a simple sample model of multilayer closure with naturally available hard and soft tissue components. Tamponade was provided to the reconstructed site with a simple inflated Foley's catheter bulb. There was no repair failure and cavities were well mucosalised on follow-up. Mucosal and turbinate preservation was fully achieved in this method as no turbinate flaps were raised or large raw surface exposure was there.
