“…However, clinical confirmation should be performed by β-2 transferrin and β-trace protein test for nasal secretions. 10 For a less-developed area, nasal secretion's glucose of greater than 30 mg/dL also supports the diagnosis, 11 which we performed in all patients.…”

Neuroendoscopic endonasal approach has gained popularity in managing traumatic, spontaneous, and especially iatrogenic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. The authors examined 8 patients presenting with CSF rhinorrhea between December 2012 and June 2014: 5 patients had iatrogenic leak, 2 patients had traumatic leak, and 1 patient had a spontaneous onset of CSF rhinorrhea. Sites of the CSF leaks were detected through computed tomographic cisternography and magnetic resonance imaging in the patients with traumatic and spontaneous leaks. All patients received neuroendoscopic endonasal surgery for the CSF leak. The largest defect was 22 mm in maximum diameter. Endoscopic supraciliary "keyhole" approach was performed in 1 patient after confirmation of a frontal sinus leak using the endoscopic endonasal approach. The success rate was 100% in the first attempt. Follow-up period ranged from 3 to 24 months, and no recurrence was reported. Identifying the leak site and choosing the appropriate surgical technique remain the most important factor in surgical success.

“…La génesis de este tipo de anormalidades anatómicas requiere de la pérdida de continuidad entre la barrera ósea y duramadre que rodea al hueso, produciendo cefalea, rinorraquia u otorraquia según el sitio de la fístula. Sin embargo, la principal importancia de una fístula de LCR radica en que constituye una potencial puerta de entrada para distintos microorganismos al SNC, siendo responsable de hasta 20% de los casos de MBA 8 . La etiología es diversa, siendo la traumática la causa más frecuente presente en hasta 50% de los casos 9 .…”

“…Ta beljakovina je specifična za osrednji živčni sistem, proizvajajo jo horoidni pletež in leptomeninge, vendar predstavlja le 3 % vseh beljakovin v likvorju. Uporabljajo jo kot označevalec pri ugotavljanju likvoreje in pri iztekanju likvorja skozi kožno fistulo (20).…”

We present a case of a 28-year-old patient who underwent spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section, and developed meningitis, Streptococcus salivarius was isolated in the cerebrospinal ﬂuid. The Viridans streptococci are a part of a normal human mouth ﬂora, therefore the patient most likely developed iatrogenic meningitis due to droplet transmission of bacteria intrathecally. We discuss etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostic tools, treatment and prognosis of meningitis afer intrathecal procedures and we emphasize the importance of strict aseptic technique while performing neuraxial procedures. Iatrogenic meningitis should be considered as a possible diﬀerential diagnosis in patients who present with symptoms and signs of meningitis after neuraxial blockade.
