[11]. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. 1981 Apr. Absence of otologic symptoms and a history of sinonasal disease may suggest an anterior source of leak. 88(3 Pt 1):358-65. Spontaneous leakage is leakage that occurs without an obvious antecedent pathology.

[10], A study by Stevens et al suggested that similar congenital pathoetiologic mechanisms are responsible for spontaneous CSF otorrhea and superior canal dehiscence (SCD). MRI with intrathecal Gadolinium to Detect a They rarely occur more than 2 months postoperatively. Association between Lateral Skull Base Thickness and Surgical Outcomes in Spontaneous CSF Otorrhea. [Full Text]. 2019 Nov 1. 8(2):96-102. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Omega-3s to Prevent Alzheimer's: Who Benefits? NLM The presence of an abnormal communication of the sterile subarachnoid space with the flora of the sinonasal tract places the patient at great risk for meningitis. This means that a defect must exist not only in the bone, but also in the dura mater. Sensorineural hearing loss is another significant morbidity associated with spontaneous leaks in children and is present 82% of the time. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. This is often the case when the leakage results from trauma or previous ear surgery. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. Unless the source is obvious, such as in a case of recent surgery or trauma, attempt to document that the draining fluid is in fact CSF. These leaks are usually evident in the early postoperative period. Author information: (1)Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Mayo Clinic School of … Even though a leakage of CSF is occurring through otologic structures, actual leakage of the fluid from the ear is not always present. Kari E, Mattox DE. 40 (4):485-90. Pneumatic otoscopy may be helpful in demonstrating fluid within the middle ear space, especially when that fluid is very clear.

CSF leaks: Correlation of High-Resolution CT and Multiplanar reformations with Intraoperative Endoscopic findings. Management of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea. Unless an otologic source is certain, the scan should cover all three cranial fossae. Kutz JW Jr, Husain IA, Isaacson B, Roland PS. Surgery is therefore indicated to repair this problem in most situations. 1987 Mar. In such situations, the source of the leakage may not be readily apparent. These structures are usually associated with the venous sinuses of the dura mater, but they have been found within the temporal bone on some autopsy specimens. A full workup should be immediately undertaken.

The purpose of our study was to correlate CT and MR findings regarding the location and content of CSF leaks in 27 patients with endoscopic sinus surgery observations. Arlen D Meyers, MD, MBA Professor of Otolaryngology, Dentistry, and Engineering, University of Colorado School of Medicine Otogenic CSF leak secondary to recent surgery or trauma can often be treated conservatively with a compressive dressing and bed rest with head elevation.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Defects at the skull base leading to spontaneous CSF rhinorrhea are rare lesions. Spontaneous CSF leakage may result from a number of congenital deformities of the ear. Copyright © 2018 Soci showét showé françaises de radiologie. [Medline]. | COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. In addition to dura, portions of brain tissue may also prolapse through the defect, resulting in an encephalocele. 2010 Oct;65(10):832-41. doi: 10.1016/j.crad.2010.05.002. Possible indications for the exam are: normal pressure hydrocephalus, Pseudotumor Cerebri, and the evaluation of ventricular shunting tubes. Accurate localization of the site of the leak, underlying causes and appropriate therapy is necessary to avoid associated complications. A second defect, usually of the annular ring of the stapes footplate, then results in drainage of CSF into the middle ear. Using computed tomography (CT) scans, the investigators found that compared with patients with acoustic neuroma or otosclerosis, the height of the lateral skull base was significantly lower in individuals with CSF otorrhea or SCD.

Such bony dehiscences are most commonly found on the floor of the middle fossa, along the tegmen plate. Other deformities of the inner ear are also associated with spontaneous CSF leak.
