Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid leak Conservative management Iatrogenic injury Meningitis Non-penetrating injury Skull base fracture
The majority of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks result from some form of skull base trauma. Injuries to the base of skull can be the result of accidental injury or intraoperative (iatrogenic) injury. The type of injury can have an important impact on CSF leak management. This chapter reviews the types of traumatic CSF leak and the subsequent treatment options that can be considered.
