Endoscopic Endonasal Eustachian Tube Obliteration as a Treatment for Tension Pneumocephalus After Translabyrinthine Resection of Vestibular Schwannoma

Conclusion Endoscopic endonasal ET obliteration, a technique previously applied to recalcitrant cerebrospinal fluid leaks, is a safe and reasonable alternative to reentering the original surgical site for patients with pneumocephalus after lateral skull base surgery. Utilizing a V-loc suture for this technique instead of a traditional suture may improve procedural ease and speed.
