Abstract:
We reported a case of nontraumatic cerebrospinal fluid fistula who had concomittantly CSF rhinorrhea, pneumocephalus and bacterial meningitis. By metrizamide CT cisternography, we found her CSF fistula was likely to be on the right lateral wall of sphenoidal sinus. She was recovered from her symptoms by medical treatment and has been free of CSF rhinorrhea or meningitis without surgical repair of CSF fistula during recent 1 year follow up.
