Abstract:
CSF rhinorrhea can be divided into two groups according to its origin: the more common traumatic and the less frequent nontraumatic group. CSF is not only an obvious portal of entry but also a good culture media for bacteria. So meningitis is likely to be developed when CSF leaks. With reviewing some of concerned literatures, We present a case of the recurrent bacterial meningitis due to defect of the cribriform plate resulted from traumatic accident.
