A simple procedure for management of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea by injection of fibrin sealant. Technical note.

Abstract	A simple and safe procedure is proposed to manage cases of "empty sella" complicated by rhinorrhea. It is performed under fluoroscopic control only by introducing a needle in the sphenoid sinus via a transnasal route and by injecting fibrin glue into the sinusal cavity. This procedure requires a short hospitalization and it allows to avoid the compliances of other techniques.
