Iatrogenic Trauma (Figs. 18.7A and B)
Secondary to neurosurgical or otolaryngological procedures along skull base, mostly endoscopic and endonasal procedures. It can also occur following craniotomy.
Common sites—cribriform plates along vertical insertion of middle turbinate, frontal sinuses and regions of variant anatomy including pneumatization of skull base.
Accounts for 16% of all traumatic CSF rhinorrhea cases.
Present within rst 2 weeks following the operative procedure.

Usually resolve spontaneously with conservative measures.
Presence of packs or hemorrhage secondary to the procedure may hamper the interpretation of CT cisternography.
Secondary Leaks
It refers to the leaks of nontraumatic etiology but with a denite pathologic cause.
Etiologies include erosion by tumors, mucoceles, postradiation changes, osteonecrosis, congenital (encephaloceles, persistent canals through skull base) (Figs. 18.8A and B).
Its identication is important for surgical management.

Section 4 Trauma246
Spontaneous Leaks
Cerebrospinal uid leaks occurring without any identiable cause such as trauma, surgery, underlying lesion or congenital abnormality.
It may represent 4–40% of all CSF leaks.
Most often these patients present with clinical features of raised intracranial pressure and are found to have idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) (Figs. 18.9A and B).Imaging required to rule out any cause of raised intracranial pressure and to evaluate for features of IIH (given in Table 18.1).
Empty sella, widening of optic sheath with tortuosity, scleral attening at posterior aspect, scalloping of inner calvarial table, widening of skull base foramina, meningoceles, low-lying cerebellar tonsils with inferiorly displaced brainstem and cerebellum. MR venography may reveal stenosis of transverse sinuses.
Most common sites of leak are cribriform plate or ethmoid roof.

leak. (B) Empty sella seen on the sagittal image.
Management requires surgery for the defect as well as medication to decrease intracranial pressure so as to prevent future recurrences.
PROTOCOL FOR EVALUATION FLOWCHART 18.1
Most leaks usually resolve either spontaneously or conservative measures including lumbar drain placement by 7–10 days. Imaging is required if persistent leak present.
Plain high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) skull base is the rst imaging modality. If shows a clear defect in skull base at a single site which is correlating clinically with side of leak, then no more investigation is required. e surgery can be planned based on CT.
If the HRCT shows multiple defects or if the site of defect is equivocal, then further evaluation is done based on how strong is the suspicion for

Section 4 Trauma248
CSF rhinorrhea. If it is a conrmed CSF leak clinically and biochemically, then CT cisternography can be done as the next investigation. If there is a doubt whether it is CSF rhinorrhea or not, then plain MR cisternography can be done as the next investigation being noninvasive and nonradiating.
If plain HRCT ndings reveal a possibility of an encephalocele or a tumor or congenital defect, then MR cisternography should be done after it with or without intravenous contrast.
MR cisternography with intrathecal contrast is reserved as a problem­solving tool (o-label use).
Contrast CT and MR cisternography are particularly useful in the setting of multiple defects and in recurrence following surgery.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea:
Surgical Aspects
Kapil Sikka, Alok Thakkar
• Causes
• Evaluation and Approach to Patient with Facial Trauma
– Soft Tissue Injuries of Face – Bony Sinonasal Injuries
▪ Upper-third Face Fractures ▪ Middle-third Face Fractures
• General Principles in Managing Facial Fractures
CAUSES
Face is a commonly injured part of body. e common causes being road trac accidents, interpersonal violence, injuries at workplace and home (falls and machine related injuries). Some places also witness serious injuries related to animal bites.
Seat belts, and airbags, though have played signicant protective role, facial injuries are common after road trac accidents involving 50% of survivors.
Management is challenging because of close proximity and possible direct impact on vital structures like upper airway, larynx, trachea, carotid artery, etc. is chapter will primarily focus on the diagnosis and management of sinonasal injuries with fractures and cerebrospinal uid (CSF) rhinorrhea.
• Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea
– Symptoms – Signs – Investigations – Management
EVALUATION AND APPROACH TO PATIENT WITH FACIAL TRAUMA
All major injury patients require general systemic evaluation as per advanced trauma life support (ATLS) protocols.
Airway, spine, thoracic, cardiac and major abdominal injuries can be life threatening and take precedence.
Section 4 Trauma250
Careful history regarding mode of injury and exact recapitulation of events can provide a useful clue to severity and also aid in management.
General examination for evaluation of systemic injuries and corresponding referrals is important.
Local examination should focus on evaluation of skin and soft tissue lacerations over face. Antibiotic and tetanus prophylaxis needs to be individualized on case-to-case basis. Adequate wound assessment at times requires local or general anesthesia. orough wound irrigation with saline or an antiseptic aids in assessment and also to identify and remove debris and foreign bodies.
Bony eminences and contours should be palpated for deformity, step-os and mobility. ese include the skull, orbit, zygoma, maxilla, mandible and palate.
Some critical injuries to the eyelid, nasolacrimal duct, facial nerve, parotid duct are often missed and fare badly, if not dealt immediately.
Eye and ear examination should be performed, and any abnormality should be assessed by an expert. Blood in ear canal, abnormal conjunctival congestion, hematoma behind the ear, etc. can be evidences of more serious skull base fracture.
Disruption of canalicular apparatus should be suspected in eyelid injuries. Vision and ocular mobility should be grossly assessed and documented.
Imaging may be ordered in case there is suspicion of deep injury or undetected fractures. Foreign bodies like glass or metallic pieces may be identied with imaging while some like wood may be missed. Very careful evidence of head injury should be obtained. Overt CSF rhinorrhea, nasal and ear bleed, vomiting, visual blurring, diplopia or inequality of pupil size should warrant prompt radiology to identify skull fractures and underlying brain injury.
Soft Tissue Injuries of Face
Soft tissue injuries can be abrasions, lacerations or avulsions.
Basic concepts of cosmetic and functional repair need to be applied while evaluating and repairing these wounds. Concepts of tattooing, wound contraction and scarring should be kept in mind.
Appropriate suture material and/or adhesive is paramount for appropriate results.
Special consideration and expert consultation should be sought in injuries involving critical areas like eyelids, lips, salivary glands and facial nerve.
Ears and nose soft tissue injuries should be handled with respect and care because of high risk of deformities due to cartilage loss and risk of perichondritis and deformity.
Bony Sinonasal Injuries
Face is arbitrarily divided into upper third formed by frontal bones, middle third by maxilla, ethmoids and zygoma, and lower third by mandible.
Upper-third Face Fractures
ey may be only anterior wall fractures where they are mostly of cosmetic concern or involves posterior wall also where intracranial injuries must be investigated and treated.
Middle-third Face Fractures
Middle-third fractures involve the maxilla, zygoma and the ethmoids. Due consideration to orbit, dental occlusion and skull base needs to be given for adequate management. Conventionally, middle third fractures are classied by Le Fort fracture classication (Chapter 17).
Lower-third (mandible fractures): Mostly due consideration needs to be given to anatomic region of fracture and whether the bone is dentulous or edentulous. Dental occlusion is important consideration for management.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES IN MANAGING FACIAL FRACTURES
Computed tomography scan is the single most important diagnostic modality for evaluating the extent of fractures and their management. Plain radiographs, though frequently employed for simple nasal fractures, are unnecessary.
As already highlighted, the life-threatening injuries of brain, abdomen and thorax take precedence over fracture xations. General principles of management are same as mentioned in soft tissue injuries.
Incisions may be customized to allow the access to the area and facilitate elevation and xation of fracture fragments. ese include:
• Bicoronal incision for frontal and upper third fractures
• Temporal hairline (Gillies incision) for zygomatic fractures
• Upper lid blepharoplasty incision is used for frontozygomatic area
• Orbital oor through transconjunctival incision
• Maxilla and fragments through the sublabial and gingivobuccal
incisions.
Areas called as pillars or buttresses require due consideration for adeq­uate results after fracture xation (also see Chapter 17). ese include horizontal and vertical buttresses. ese are important to provide support to facial architecture during jaw movements. Most repairs are performed using titanium plates and screws.
Dental occlusion is paramount in severe midface fractures and is established by use of arch bars.
Upper third fractures involve frontal sinus and often get complicated by sinusitis. If the repair hampers the outow, cranialization or obliteration may be considered.

CEREBROSPINAL FLUID RHINORRHEA (CSF RHINORRHEA)
Causes of CSF rhinorrhea can be traumatic or nontraumatic. Most common cause of CSF rhinorrhea is trauma, either accidents or injury
Section 4 Trauma252
to skull base during operative procedures (nasal and neurosurgical procedures).
Nontraumatic causes include neoplastic or nonneoplastic intracranial hypertension, skull base osteomyelitis, etc.
Idiopathic CSF rhinorrhea is rare and most have etiology like benign intracranial hypertension associated.
Symptoms
Clear watery discharge typically unilateral but can be bilateral. e discharge is more when patient bends forward (teapot sign).
e more common conditions like allergic rhinitis may produce similar watery discharge and dierentiating the two can be challenging.
Signs
“Halo sign” is an important clinical sign. A halo around a blood spot is indicative of CSF.
An associated meningocele or meningoencephalocele may be visualized on endoscopy.
Investigations
Investigations should be aimed at conrming the uid to be CSF and evaluation of exact site of leak. Frequently false negative, estimation of sugar in collected nasal uid can help dierentiate it from nasal uid.
Β2 transferrin, though a more accurate test for conrmation, is not readily available and is costly.
Intrathecal agents like uorescein (0.1 mL of 10% in 10 mL of patient’s own CSF). Radioactive iodine labeled serum albumen or other radioisotopes can be used for radionuclide cisternography.
Imaging is detailed in Chapter 18, and is critical to localize the site of leak.
Management
Conservative management: Traumatic CSF leaks often heal without surgical management. Head end elevation, avoidance of straining, tapping of CSF with lumbar catheters are often successful, if strictly employed for 1–2 weeks.
Surgical management: Leaks which fail conservative management and spontaneous leaks frequently require surgical repair. Conventional trans­cranial repair is rarely required nowadays as most cases can be handled endoscopically. Accurate identication of site of leak is para mount before embarking on surgical correction. e area is adequately exposed and surrounding mucosa elevated. Any meningoencephalocele is reduced by bipolar cauterization.
e area is suitably grafted. Choice of graft material varies. We have been using fascia lata placed in onlay or underlay fashion with excellent results. Larger defects require cartilage or bone for bony defect reconstruction. Fascia layer is supplemented with diced abdominal fat or glue.
Nasal packs are kept for 3–4 days. Patients are nursed with antibiotics, mannitol (to lower CSF pressure), and stool softeners.
Revisions and recurrences may require transcranial repair.
