Abstract

Adult Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea - surgery Female Humans Otologic Surgical Procedures - methods
To describe a new technique for control of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea and to review alternative approaches. Five cases and literature review. Tertiary referral center. Five case study patients. Surgical. Control of CSF rhinorrhea. CSF rhinorrhea can be controlled through eustachian tube ligation in the nasopharynx, distal to all known pathways through which CSF leaks may occur from the temporal bone into the eustachian tube. Transoral eustachian tube ligation appears to be a safe and effective alternative to other techniques for controlling CSF rhinorrhea and should be included in the otologist's repertoire.
