<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula is an abnormal CSF leakage due to bone and/or dural defect of the skull base and usually operated with endonasal endoscopic approach. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of an endonasal endoscopic approach in the repair of CSF leakage and to find the reasons of the recurrence of endoscopic procedure.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The medical records of 24 patients that presented with the diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid fistula and who had undergone endonasal endoscopic repair surgery were reviewed retrospectively.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> 13 patients (54.2%) were found to have spontaneous CSF fistulas without any history of trauma, while 11 patients (45.8%) had posttraumatic CSF fistulas. The mean body mass index (BMI) of patients was 31. 3 kg/m² (20.1-49.6). Nasal septal cartilage was used as a graft material in 19 patients (79%) while only fascia was used in 5 patients (21%). The evaluation of long-term results revealed recurrence in 4 patients (16.6%). Two of these patients required a second surgical repair.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> An endoscopic endonasal approach is a safe method with less morbidity and a reliable outcome in the repair of CSF fistulas. The most important causative factors in the recurrence of endoscopic repair of CSF leak might be to have high BMI and not to use multilayered graft material for closure of fistula.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Fluid Leak

Cerebrospinal fluid leak represents a frequent complication in Craniopharyngioma´s Endoscopic Endonasal Approach. A descriptive observational investigation was performed in 50 adult patients operated of Craniopharyngiomas by aggressive Expanded Endonasal Endoscopic Approach (EEEA) in “Hermanos Ameijeiras” Hospital since 2010 to 2019 using nasoseptal flap. The 14% of all patients develop CSF leak and 85,7 % of these cases had a great communication into third ventricle creating a cisternoventricular space. Was identified relation with tumor size, hypothalamic invasion and adhesion strength of tumour. Surgical cavity suffered hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pression than lead to CSF leak independent of multilayer reparation.
