Endonasal Endoscopic Repair of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks of the Sphenoid Sinus

Abstract: Assuming an adequate repair, other factors such as the cause, the size of the defect, the technique and material used to repair the defect, and perioperative management do not affect the surgical outcome significantly. Untreated high-pressure hydrocephalus can lead to a recurrence or persistence of the leaks and should be suspected in patients with posttraumatic, idiopathic, or recurrent CSF leaks.

“…In many cases, as a cleft palate can be found as well, the surgical approach becomes easier, being this one of the reasons for many authors to use the Transpalatal approach as the elective route 6 . Recently, some authors have advocated about the use of endoscopic techniques for the repair of transsphenoidal encephaloceles and CSF leaks with good outcomes reported 15,26 .…”

“…Sin embargo, un 15% de las fístulas recidivan en un plazo de 2 años, con un promedio de 7 meses 112 , con independencia de la técnica endoscópica empleada. El único factor, que sí está relacionado con la recidiva de la rinorrea, es la presencia de hipertensión intracraneal, en especial de hidrocefalia 49,99 , que puede hacerse evidente solo después de reparar la fístula 70 . En las fístulas muy laterales de senos esfenoidales amplios, Locatelli y col 64 realizan un acceso ampliado a través del etmoides y base de la apófisis pterigoide.…”

“…Aunque se han utilizado, en la reparación endoscópica, injertos pediculados vascularizados 46,64,99 , utilizando mucoperiostio de la concha media o mucopericondrio de tabique nasal, lo habitual es utilizar injertos libres de mucosa, periostio, cartílago y hueso en distintas combinaciones, obtenidos de la propia fosa nasal, no existiendo diferencias estadísticas en cuanto a los resultados obtenidos con las diferentes técnicas y materiales 49 . Una vez localizado el lugar de la fístula, se extirpa la mucosa de alrededor del defecto óseo 64,99 .…”
