A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak occurs when the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord develop an opening, allowing CSF to escape. Leaks involving the skull base may sometimes present through the nose or ear and require specialist evaluation.
At Elite ENT Hospitals, our specialists use detailed clinical assessment, appropriate imaging, and advanced surgical techniques to identify the source of the leak and determine the most suitable treatment approach.
CSF leaks can occur for different reasons, including trauma, previous surgery, pressure-related conditions, or defects in the skull base. Symptoms may include clear fluid drainage from the nose or ear, headaches, or other signs requiring specialist assessment.
Our ENT specialists carefully evaluate each patient to identify the location and possible cause of the leak. When surgery is required, an appropriate technique is selected with a focus on precise repair, skull base protection, and recovery.
CSF Leak Repair is a procedure used to close an abnormal opening through which cerebrospinal fluid is escaping. For selected leaks involving the skull base, an endoscopic approach through the nose may allow the specialist to access and repair the defect without an external incision.
Before treatment, your specialist may recommend imaging or other diagnostic investigations to locate the leak and understand its underlying cause. The recommended treatment, possible risks, and recovery process will be explained before the procedure.
Our ENT specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for ear, nose, throat, hearing, sinus, and related head and neck conditions.
