Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: One hundred and seventy-three patients who accepted transnasal endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea were retrospectively analyzed. The intracranial infection factors was analyzed by Logistic regression analysis with SPSS 17.0 software. RESULTS: Postoperative infection was found in 17 cases among 173 patients, the infection rate was 9.83%. The unsuccessful transnasal endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea (χ(2) = 6.89, P = 0.001) , the defective diameter of skull base (χ(2) = 9.98, P = 0.001) and medical history of intracranial infection (χ(2) = 11.08, P = 0.001) were infection factors after transnasal endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea (all P < 0.05), while sex, age, the site of defection, the aetiological agent, longer application of antibiotics before or after operation and the use of artificial material had no obvious effect (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION:
