07/01/2011 - "Biopsy of such lesions without prior imaging studies can be detrimental because of the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leak and meningitis, and is therefore contraindicated. "
10/01/1976 - "In conclusion, when the physician is confronted by a case of meningitis in a patient with a unilateral or bilateral total loss of hearing and vestibular function, the possible presence of an idiopathic cerebrospinal fluid leak should be considered, expecially if radiographic studies demonstrate a temporal bone dysplasia. "

05/01/2015 - "Fractures of the anterior and posterior table with displacement greater than one table width were significantly associated with higher hospital costs, higher velocity mechanism of injuries, lower Glasgow Coma Scale scores, nasofrontal outflow tract (NFOT) involvement, and cerebrospinal fluid leak. "
12/01/2014 - "Compared with the eyebrow approach, the trauma to the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and skull base is greater, and the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leak is higher. "

07/01/2012 - "Endoscopic skull base reconstruction with the vascularized nasoseptal flap has dramatically reduced the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leak, consolidating endoscopic endonasal surgery as an effective and safe alternative for the treatment of these challenging tumors."
02/01/2015 - "In cases where the necessity of a vascularized reconstructive flap was made evident only after tumor resection, the nasoseptal flap was raised after tumor resection and/or cerebrospinal fluid leak development, thus constituting a delayed nasoseptal flap. "
12/01/2012 - "Advancements have also been made in surgery to improve tumor localization by use of intraoperative imaging and to reduce morbidities, such as cerebrospinal fluid leak, associated with transsphenoidal surgery. "
07/01/2011 - "Control patients (n ≥ 5) were undergoing either tumor resection or repair of cerebrospinal fluid leak and had no radiographic or endoscopic evidence of inflammatory sinus disease. "
07/01/2008 - "The postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak rate was 40% (14 of 35) and varied by tumor location. "

11/01/2005 - "The purpose of the study was to identify specific aspects of surgical approach design and closure technique aimed at reducing the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leak after cerebellopontine angle tumor surgery. "
02/01/2015 - "Are there modifiable risk factors to prevent a cerebrospinal fluid leak following vestibular schwannoma surgery?"

01/01/2015 - "The post-operative complications included sinus mucous cyst in 4 cases, cerebrospinal fluid leak in 3 cases. "
01/01/2008 - "Factors associated with development of DI after minimally invasive pituitary surgery include Rathke's cleft cyst histology, intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak, and previous nonendoscopic lesion resection. "
12/01/2007 - "Furthermore the cyst seemed to erode the dura and due to its location there was an imminent danger for cerebrospinal fluid leak. "
01/01/2015 - "Intracranial fat migration following autologous fat graft and placement of a lumbar drain for cerebrospinal fluid leak after pineal cyst resection surgery has not been previously reported. "
01/01/1998 - "This is a retrospective study of a series of 28 Rathke's cleft cysts operated on transsphenoidally that was undertaken for the following reasons: 1) to study the presentation, with particular reference to hormonal and visual disturbances; 2) to study postoperative improvements in endocrine function and vision; 3) to record postoperative complications; and 4) to assess the efficacy of a minor modification of the standard transsphenoidal surgical technique, whereby the cyst is allowed to drain directly into the sphenoid air sinus without fossa floor repair when there is no intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak.
