Abstract :
Cereospinal uid (CSF) rhinorrhoea is the leakage of CSF from the subarachnoid space into the nasal cavity due to
a defect in the dura, bone and mucosa. CSF rhinorrhoea most commonly occurs due to head trauma, and
destructive lesions of ain and iatrogenic trauma. Cereospinal uid leak from the intracranial space to the nasal respiratory tract carries
the risk of an ascending infection which can lead to fulminant meningitis. Diagnosis is made on the basis of 1) clinical CSF leak (clear watery
nasal discharge), 2) presence of a skull based fracture on Computed Tomography. Beta-2 transferrin test is a conrmatory test because of its
high sensitivity and specicity. Endoscopic repair is method of choice for majority of CSF leaks. It has minimal morbidity and higher success
rates.
We report an uncommon case of traumatic bilateral CSF rhinorrhoea which was repaired by endoscopic approach using fascia latagraft.
