Abstract

CSF rhinorrhea can be defined as the presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the nasal cavity; the CSF comes from a dural tear in the anterior cranial fossa. CSF rhinorrhea can also appear paradoxically, due to lesions in the middle or posterior cranial fossa, with fluid accumulation in the middle ear draining into the nasopharynx and nasal cavity via the Eustachian tube.
