AbstractWhen performing translabyrinthine surgery for acoustic neuroma, the surgeon opens the cerebrospinal fluid space. To prevent the development of post-operative meningitis, the surgical defect should be closed reliably in a watertight fashion. To date, this has been done with success in 12 patients altogether using a self-curing bone cement (ionomeric cement). During follow-up for a maximum of three years there has been no evidence of cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

ABSTRACT This paper reviews the diagnosis and treatment of temporal bone meningoencephaloceles, defined as the herniation of meninges or brain tissue into empty spaces within the temporal bone, i.e. tympanic or mastoid cavity, through the tegmen tympani or antri respectively. It also describes the current methods of control of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, which commonly present as serous otorrhea or rhinorrhea in addition to a variety of symptoms, such as conductive hearing loss. Imaging is the mainstay of the diagnostic process. Management of the condition is surgical, and this review outlines the surgical options with special emphasis on the transmastoid approach and the materials applicable for repair of the bony dehiscences.
