Fluid Leak

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is possible and can be a cause of recurrent bacterial meningitis. Petrous apex meningocele (PAM) is mostly asymptomatic and is often found during incidental imaging tests. We experienced a case of CSF rhinorrhea with recurrent meningitis in bilateral PAM after adenoidectomy. This report highlights the diagnostic process of CSF leak, identification of leakage site, and surgical approach to petrous apex lesions.

Fluid Leak

The authors report an unusual case of bilateral large petrous apex cephaloceles in a 14-year-old boy with a history of recurrent meningitis. Although these lesions are rare and usually asymptomatic, surgical correction is recommended if they are associated with a persistent CSF leak. In this patient, the extensive bilateral cranial defects were not adequately treated by an intracranial approach alone. Repair of a defect in the posterior pharyngeal wall, the site of a prior tonsillectomy, ultimately resulted in repair of the CSF fistula.

Type Of Injury

Penetrating transorbital injury with skull base involvement is a rare occurrence from a crayon. We report a case of a 2-year-old male who sustained a penetrating crayon injury through the right orbit and lamina papyracea into the posterior ethmoid sinus complicated by cerebrospinal fluid leak. There have been no other reported cases of this type of injury by a crayon.
