Spontaneous nasal cerebrospinal fluid leaks: management of 24 patients over 11  years

ConclusionsSpontaneous nasal CSF leaks often initially present with symptomatic meningitis. Imaging does not always clearly identify the skull base defect. Common localizations are the anterior ethmoid roof and the lateral sphenoid sinus. Obesity seems to be a predisposing factor. In most cases, endoscopic repair with low morbidity is possible; however, an individualized approach is necessary.
