OBJECT This article introduces a classification scheme for extensive traumatic anterior skull
base fracture to help stratify surgical treatment options. The authors describe their multilayer …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of conservative and surgical management
options for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage complicating skull base fractures …

Detailed outcome data for the management of anterior skull base fractures associated with
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is lacking. We present detailed follow-up data of a single …

BACKGROUND: The management of posttraumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulae is a
controversial topic. Although recent literature shows that endoscopic repair of CSF fistula is …

OBJECTIVE: The management of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulae after anterior cranial
base fracture remains a surgical challenge. We reviewed our results in the repair of CSF …

Background Anterior skull base (ASB) fractures are reported in 4% of head injuries and
represent 21% of all skull fractures. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks may follow, severely …

The risk of developing an intracranial complication after head injury is greater in those who
have sustained a skull fracture. Fractures of the basis cranii are usually the result of …

The vascularized nasoseptal flap has become a principal reconstructive technique for the
closure of endonasal skull base surgery defects. Despite its potential utility, there has been …

Aims: CSF leaks are not uncommon after a base of skull fracture. Currently there is no
standardised algorithm for the investigation and management of post-traumatic CSF leaks …

Object Persistent posttraumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage frequently complicates
skull base fractures. Although many CSF leaks will cease without treatment, patients with …
