CT cisternography in cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea: Could it have a therapeutic role?

Naresh K Panda et al. Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2005 Apr.

Abstract

Two cases of spontaneous cessation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea following iohexol computerized tomographic (CT) cisternography are presented. This report contradicts the current thinking about conservative treatment in CSF rhinorrhea. We propose that iohexol CT cisternography may have a therapeutic role in the management of spontaneous CSF rhinorrhea.

Keywords: CSF rhinorrhea; CT cisternography.
