A physiological sealant for cerebrospinal fluid leaks

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1977
✓ A combination of concentrated platelets, thrombin, and fibrinogen was used to adhere a pericranial graft to surgically produced cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulas in dogs. This sealant successfully stopped leakage of CSF in all fistulas produced in both acute and chronic preparations. All control animals leaked CSF acutely. In chronic control animals

Endoscopic Management of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks

Facial Plastic Surgery, 2009
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is an uncommon but important medical condition. It can result from trauma, intracranial hypertension, or be idiopathic in origin. If left untreated, significant sequelae can result including infectious meningitis. Beta-2 transferrin is a sensitive and specific protein marker for CSF.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak in a Premature Neonate

American Journal of Perinatology, 2005
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cranial leaks in neonates are rare, and only four case reports have been published previously. Two of the previous cases were also in preterm newborns delivered at 30 weeks gestation. We present a case of CSF leak in a premature neonate delivered at 30 weeks gestation.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Pressure Monitoring after Repair of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2004
OBJECTIVETo measure intracranial pressures (ICPs) via lumbar drains after surgical repair of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks.METHODSWe conducted a retrospective review of ICP measurements through lumbar drains during the immediate postoperative period after CSF leak repair.RESULTSEight patients with spontaneous CSF leaks underwent surgery and ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in Orbital and Lacrimal Surgery

Survey of Ophthalmology, 2008
Cerebrospinal fluid leakage is an uncommon but significant complication of orbital and rarely lacrimal surgery which may have serious consequences including death. In a retrospective review of four orbital units, we report an incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leak (diagnosed intraoperatively) during exenteration, orbital decompression, and ...

Sphenoid Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak

2021
Management of sphenoid CSF leaks is complicated in the setting of prior surgery and radiation. Active CSF leak in the presence of recalcitrant sinus infections, cranial base osteomyelitis, and life-threatening bleeding offers additional complexity to the hierarchy of treatment strategies.

Conservative Management of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America
Cerebrospinal fluid leaks are a complex clinical challenge with variable causes and management. Conservative therapy focuses on lowering intracranial pressure through bed rest, sinus precautions, antiemetics, bowel regimens, and lumbar drainage. Leaks persisting beyond 1 week may require surgical repair due to meningitis risk. Iatrogenic, postoperative,

Spontaneous Spinal Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks

Cephalalgia, 2008
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is an uncommon but not rare cause of new onset daily persistent headaches. A delay in diagnosis is the norm. Women are affected more commonly than men and most are in the fifth or sixth decade of life. The underlying cause is a spontaneous spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak.
