Enhancing Localization in Multiple Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage Reconstruction With Fluorescence Endoscopy: A Case Study

Summary:. Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, with unknown etiology, is challenging to diagnose and repair, particularly in localizing the leak. We present a 40-year-old woman with multiple spontaneous CSF rhinorrheas. Conventional methods failed to pinpoint the defects, but using indocya...

Description
Summary:Summary:. Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, with unknown etiology, is challenging to diagnose and repair, particularly in localizing the leak. We present a 40-year-old woman with multiple spontaneous CSF rhinorrheas. Conventional methods failed to pinpoint the defects, but using indocyanine green (ICG) with endoscopy, we precisely identified the leaks and successfully completed the reconstructive repair.
