  • Title: State of the art of endoscopic frontal sinus cerebrospinal fluid leak repair.
    Author: Patron V, Roger V, Moreau S, Babin E, Hitier M.
    Journal: Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis; 2015 Dec; 132(6):347-52. PubMed ID: 26363602.
    Abstract:
    Frontal sinus cerebrospinal fluid leaks are rare and their surgical management is difficult. Up until recently, they could only be treated by open surgery with an osteoplastic flap. With the development of endoscopic surgery, less invasive techniques such as an exclusive endoscopic approach can now be used, ensuring a simpler postoperative course. However, these techniques require a thorough knowledge of frontal sinus anatomy and endoscopic CSF leak repair. This knowledge is essential both to ensure closure of the CSF leak and to preserve frontal sinus patency.
