“…Users ability to engage directly with authors, journals, and universities opens a door for collaboration between groups that otherwise would not be feasible and social media presence is associated with higher academic impact metrics for both neurosurgical departments and journals ( Linzey et al., 2020 ). NC promoted 50 surveys on the Covid-19 pandemic to quantify its impact on daily practice, 15 of which have since been published ( Chaurasia et al., 2022 ; Fontanella et al., 2020 ; Deora et al., 2020 , 2022 ; Tandon et al., 2021 ; Robertson et al., 2020a , 2020b ; Bozkurt and Chaurasia, 2021 ; El-Ghandour et al., 2021 ; Clark et al., 2022 ; Hoz et al., 2021 ; Srinivasan et al., 2022 ; Suliman et al., 2022 ; Varela et al., 2022 ; Garg et al., 2022 ).

“…It was most likely due to the fact that this complication was not considered important in clinical practice but gained significant importance during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemics. 11,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26] From 2016 to 2020, four articles related to aspiration pneumonia were reported in the PubMed search engine, which included nine patients with nasal liquor rhea. ►Table 1 summarizes the findings of these patients.…”

Background The unintentional ingestion of oropharyngeal or gastric contents into the respiratory tract is known as aspiration. Rhinorrhea can cause aspiration pneumonia (cerebrospinal fluid leakage). Objective There are only a few reports in the literature about pneumonia as a complication of rhinorrhea. There are no reports on how to handle such cases if they present to the clinic at the peak of COVID-19 disease and distinguish between these two conditions. Methods We reviewed the literature and retrospectively analyzed the clinical information and treatment protocols used to treat the two clinical cases. Results By screening the COVID-19 PCR and antibodies more than twice, surgery was postponed for 10–14 days in both cases to rule out COVID-19-induced pneumonia. Chest CT scans still revealed ground glass opacities. In both cases, the skull base defect was repaired. In both cases, radiological signs of rhinorrhea-induced pneumonia had completely resolved at the 24- and 30-day follow-ups. Conclusion CSF aspiration causes radiological changes in the lungs in rhinnorhea. This is a short-term local decrease in lung tissue airness (partial filling of alveoli with fluids), which is visible radiographically (ground-glass opacities). To rule out COVID-19 infection, surgery should be postponed for 10–14 days, and PCR and antibodies (IgG,IgM) should be performed at least twice. If the COVID-19 screening test is negative, repair surgery can be scheduled.
