Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea: Comprehensive Guide to Evaluation and Management (PDF)

By Raj Sindwani MD FACS FRCS(C), Christopher Roxbury MD FARS

Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea is a comprehensive resource that provides up-to-date, multidisciplinary coverage of the evaluation, diagnosis, and medical and surgical management options for all causes of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. This complex field is synthesized by leading experts in otolaryngology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, neurology, and radiology. The book covers all aspects of CSF leaks, including pathophysiology, diagnosis, perioperative care, and operative techniques, and focuses specifically on anterior cranial base CSF leaks.

The book includes expert discussions of spontaneous, traumatic/iatrogenic, and tumor-related CSF leaks, with tips and pearls on surgical approaches and postoperative management strategies. It features high-definition images of anatomy, radiographic imaging, and intraoperative techniques, as well as videos that highlight intraoperative techniques in patients with spontaneous, traumatic, and tumor-related CSF leaks. The book also provides a detailed review of the laboratory, examination, and imaging studies used to evaluate patients with CSF leaks.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea addresses the controversial role of lumbar drains in CSF leak management, as well as new and upcoming technological advances in operating room instrumentation. It offers state-of-the-art reconstruction options for CSF leaks and complex skull base defects, ranging from the nasoseptal flap and beyond. The book also discusses the evaluation and growing medical and procedural management options for patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

This resource is a reliable, one-stop source for experienced clinicians as well as those in training, with an included eBook version that allows for easy access to all text, figures, and references, customization of content, note-taking and highlighting, and content that can be read aloud.
