Managing Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea after Lateral Skull Base Surgery via Endoscopic Endonasal Eustachian Tube Closure

Abstract

Endoscopic endonasal eustachian tube closure is a safe, minimally invasive and effective method for obliteration of the eustachian tube orifice. The algorithm for management of recalcitrant postoperative CSF rhinorrhea after lateral skull base surgery should include endoscopic endonasal closure of the eustachian tube.
