Association of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea with transverse venous sinus stenosis: A retrospective matched case‐control study

International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology Jul 28, 2020

Bedarida V, Labeyrie MA, Eliezer M, et al. - Researchers conducted this single‐center, retrospective, matched case‐control stud to explore the connection between spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (sCSF) rhinorrhea and transverse venous sinus stenosis (VSS), a feature commonly observed in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) with a proposed role in its pathophysiology. Venous and pituitary imaging data of consecutive patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for sCSF rhinorrhea over the last 10 years have been retrospectively reviewed. Participants in the study were 29 patients (median age 56 years, females 69%, BMI 33.8 kg/m2). A strong association was found between sCSF leaks and VSS. This novel finding provides a basis for further study of the role of VSS in the onset of sCSF leaks and the possible interest in venous stenting following the surgical leak repair.
