  • Title: Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea after ventriculoperitoneal shunt in a patient with tectal plate glioma.
    Author: Kansal R, Mahore A, Goel A.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2010 Apr; 17(4):532-3. PubMed ID: 20096589.
    Abstract:
    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea due to a remote tumor is a rare but increasingly reported condition, where it is usually a presenting complaint. CSF rhinorrhea occurring after tumor decompression has also been reported. We report a patient with tectal plate glioma that caused CSF rhinorrhea following insertion of ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The pathophysiology of CSF rhinorrhea is also discussed.
