Abstract A patient who sustained an isolated transverse sacral fracture is presented. A large ventral sacral pseudomeningocele with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula developed. Eighteen previous cases of traumatic pseudomeningocele have been documented. A review of those cases leads these authors to conclude that: (a) transverse sacral fractures are rare and have not been reported in association with a pseudomeningocele formation; (b) at the 4th sacral vertebra, this is the lowest reported pseudomeningocele; and (c) CSF fistula with sacral fracture is distinctly uncommon, reported in only one previous case. The presenting symptoms, diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and prognosis are discussed.

Fluid Fistula

The authors of this article mention the diagnostic methods, the surgery techniques and the postoperative care for the patients diagnosed with fistula of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The surgery cure depends on many factors, including here the etiology of the rhino-basis defect, intracranial pressure, anatomical location of the rhino-basis defect and it is strictly individualized, which depends on the success of all surgery procedures. ENT physicians, together with the neurosurgeons, were able to have a dominant role in the diagnostic evaluation and in the treatment of skull base pathology can give us a CSF fistula. Nasal endoscopy has revolutionized the treatment of CSF fistula, with a high rate of success.
