closure. Chloromycetin ointment is placed in the
medial canthus postoperatively.
Inferior Portal
Standing at the head of the patient, a transconjunctival incision is made at least 2mm inferior
to the tarsus (Fig.37.15). The incision is directed
to the inferior orbital rim and can then be
extended medially or laterally depending on the
indication for the surgery. A subperiosteal dissection must be carried out to avoid damaging the
inferior oblique muscle that originates at the
medial aspect of the orbital rim (Fig.37.16). The
inferior orbital ssure forms the lateral limit, and
medially the dissection can extend to the medial
orbital wall/lamina papyracea.

Fig. 37.16 Left orbital oor exposed using inferior
transconjunctival approach
The infraorbital nerve is found in the oor of
the orbit and is usually covered by a layer of
bone. The orbital oor can be resected, inferior
orbital tumours removed or the infraorbital nerve
followed back in malignant pathologies, according to the pathology that needs to be addressed.
The oor can be reconstructed with cartilage
or polydioxanone sheeting for small defects and
preformed bare titanium implants covered with
0.25-mm polydioxanone sheeting for larger
defects. It is usually not necessary to close the
incision. A temporary tarsorrhaphy suture can be
placed in patients with chemosis.
Postoperative Management
Specic postoperative care is essential to ensure
good outcomes and reduce recovery times. Local
lubricant eye ointment is used to prevent dry eye.
Ice packs are used directly over the eye for a few
minutes every hour for 24h to reduce swelling
and orbital ecchymosis.
A small suction drain is recommended to prevent a lateral orbital haematoma when using the
superior lateral approach, unless a CSF leak has
been repaired, when a suction drain is contraindicated [6].
Postoperative care of excessive chemosis (usually encountered preoperatively with proptosis) is
treated with a suspension (Frost) suture.
Postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis is given for
24h if both the orbit and nasal cavity are entered
during the procedure. An ophthalmology clinical
review is required postoperatively to assess vision.

Complications
Only a few units perform regular transorbital surgery and few complications have thus far been
reported. In the author’s experience, complications are only likely to occur due to the
following:
– Too much retraction on the eye by the assis-
tant trying to provide a wider surgical corridor. It is important that the surgeon check the
pupil regularly for changes in shape and size
and relax the retraction every few minutes.
Excessive retraction during the superior lateral approach can lead to a superior orbital ssure syndrome with CN III, IV and VI palsies
and blindness if the optic nerve itself is damaged by a retractor.
– Upper eyelid retraction can lead to temporary
damage of the levator palpebrae muscle with
ptosis. Dissection through the orbital septum
can lead to permanent damage to the muscle
that will require a blepharoplasty.
– CSF leaks can ensue if the anterior cranial
fossa is breached during the precaruncular or
superior approach and the middle cranial fossa
during the lateral approach.
– Enophthalmos can occur if reconstruction of
the oor or medial orbit is required post resection of these walls in patients without exophthalmic conditions (such as thyroid eye
disease). The need for orbital wall reconstruction needs to be discussed and considered both
preoperatively and intraoperatively.
– The lacrimal system can be injured if the dis-
section is too supercial during the precaruncular approach. Inserting probes into the
canaliculi can prevent injury.
Areas ofControversy
Transorbital surgery for sphenoid wing meningiomas is a relatively new approach. There is
no doubt that an optic nerve decompression
prior to resection of the intracranial and lateral
orbital component enhances postoperative
visual improvement [7, 8]. There is uncertainty
whether complete surgical resection is possible
with the transorbital route alone when compared to a pterional approach. Which patients
should be offered transorbital surgery versus a
craniotomy is not clear, and further studies with
long-term outcomes need to be examined to
ascertain the role of transorbital surgery for
these lesions.
Access to the anterior and middle cranial fossa
through the superior lateral approach is relatively
easy, but whether neurosurgeons can utilize these
portals to address pathology of the frontal and
temporal lobes remains to be seen.
Key Learning Points
• Multidisciplinary input is essential if transor-
bital surgery is contemplated.
• Before embarking on transorbital surgery,
training is essential and special instruments/
retractors are required.
• Multiportal surgery allows resection of lesions
crossing surgical boundaries.
• A subperiosteal tissue plane preserves neuro-
vascular structures and orbital muscles.
• Suturing of the periosteum is important to
avoid ptosis and lateral canthal dystopia.

CSF Physiology
Cerebrospinal uid (CSF) surrounds and protects
the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord and
adjacent nerves). The uid is unique and consists
of 99% water and actively regulated balanced
electrolytes and proteins (Fig.38.1) [1]. CSF not
only provides hydromechanical protection but
maintains an optimal neural microenvironment
that supports the clearance of brain metabolites,
creating a microenvironment essential for normal
brain development, function and health.
The volume of CSF in adults is normally about
150mL, with about 75mL contained within the
spinal subarachnoid space. CSF is produced
mainly by the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricles and the tela choroidea of the third and fourth
ventricle. The CSF is completely replaced about

three to four times per day, which equates to a
volumetric production of about 400–600mL/day.
Following circulation, the CSF is resorbed
via arachnoidal villi, which evaginate into the
cerebral sinuses, mainly the superior sagittal
sinus, but also via arachnoid villi in the spinal
nerve roots. What is less well known is that a
signicant part of CSF resorption takes place
via extra- arachnoid pathways, such as the brain
parenchyma, meningeal lymphatic vessels
around the dural sinuses and the cribriform
plate, and via perineural sheaths of the cranial
nerves [2].
The pressure of CSF is variable and is dependent on several physiological factors such as posture, blood pressure in the carotid arteries, jugular
venous pressure, respiration, intraabdominal
pressure and physical activity. In an adult lying
on the left side, the pressure of CSF is approximately 10–15 cmH2O [1].

Classication ofCSF Leaks
CSF rhinorrhoea can be categorised into two
main groups– traumatic leaks and non-traumatic
leaks [3].
Traumatic leaks: These account for approximately 95% of all CSF leaks [4]. Traumatic leaks
can further be divided in leaks caused by external
trauma (e.g. head injury) and leaks caused by surgery. This surgical subgroup includes pituitary
surgery, transnasal skull base surgery and complications of endoscopic sinus surgery.
Non-traumatic leaks: CSF leaks in this subgroup are less common and can be found in
approximately 5% of patients with CSF rhinorrhoea. The aetiology of non-traumatic leaks
includes rare congenital anatomical malforma-
tions, CSF rhinorrhoea with high intracranial
pressure, skull base tumours and cases where no
cause for the leak can be found (Table38.1).
CSF leaks can also be classied according to
anatomical localisation, such as the posterior/
dorsal wall of the frontal sinus, the ethmoidal
roof, the cribriform plate, the sphenoid or the
skull base adjacent to the temporal bone
(Table38.2).
The aetiological classication can be combined with the anatomical classication to facilitate a precise description for clinical practice.
Figure 38.2 illustrates a clinical example of a
‘non-traumatic CSF leak of the left cribriform
plate due to an arachnoid protrusion associated
with idiopathic intracranial hypertension’
(Fig.38.2a–e).

Complications ofCSF Leaks
The dura is a watertight anatomical layer that
prevents CSF from leaking into the surrounding
tissue. A dural defect will result in a CSF leak,
and should this occur in the anterior skull base or
travel along the Eustachian tube from a temporal
bone defect, it will present as CSF rhinorrhoea.
A profuse loss of CSF will induce low intracranial pressure that presents with headache and
non-specic neurological symptoms such as
visual disturbances, hearing abnormalities or
cognitive decits [5].
A breach in the dura can also act as a conduit
for bacterial migration from the nasal cavity,
paranasal sinuses or mastoid cells into the intradural space to cause meningitis. The incidence of
meningitis depends on various factors such as the
cause and the size of the dural defect and the
duration of the leak. There is an ever-present
cumulative risk of meningitis with an active CSF
leak, irrespective of the site of the dural defect.
Recurrent bacterial meningitis may occur over
many years in the presence of a dural defect, and
the latter may not be recognised as a cause of
recurrent meningitis.
A dural defect may also allow air to enter the
intracranial cavity and intradural space leading to
pneumocephalus. Risk factors for pneumocephalus include large dural defects, raised intranasal
air pressure induced by nose blowing and a lumbar drain. Pneumocephalus frequently causes
headaches and may lead to non-specic neurological symptoms such as an altered mental status. A tension pneumocephalus is a serious,
potentially life-threatening complication associated with CSF rhinorrhoea caused by the dural
defect acting as a valve [6].
Indication forCSF Leak Closure
Every persistent CSF leak must be closed to prevent development of severe, possibly lifethreatening complications, particularly where the
CSF leak is profuse. Repair of large dural defects
should be performed as soon as possible to prevent complications such as intracranial hypotension, meningitis and pneumocephalus.
A dural defect may cause minimal episodic,
intermittent CSF rhinorrhoea, but such leaks are
not so innocent and carry an inherent increased
long-term cumulative risk of meningitis. The
defect should be identied and repaired in all
such cases.
The timing of closure depends on the clinical
situation and the estimated risk of developing a
complication.
Post-traumatic CSF rhinorrhoea after a skull
base fracture may stop spontaneously, but exploration and dural repair remains a subject of
debate. Spontaneous healing of small posttraumatic dural defects and the surrounding tissues is relatively common. However, there is still
a potential long-term risk of meningitis, especially after fractures of the frontal skull base
where spontaneous healing may not be as robust
as in fractures of the temporal bone [4]. A healed
skull base fracture may leave a bony dehiscence
where the scar tissue may become tenuous and
lead to dural herniation and a CSF leak many
years after the initial head trauma.

Clinical Features ofCSF Leaks
CSF rhinorrhoea can present with a range of clinical feature, such as profuse positional rhinorrhoea following trauma to infrequent episodes of
minimal rhinorrhoea where the diagnosis can be
challenging. As a general principle, the diagnosis
of CSF rhinorrhoea should ideally be proven and
the site located prior to surgical exploration.
Careful assessment of the medical history is
key in establishing the diagnosis of CSF rhinorrhoea. Typically, it presents as unilateral clear,
watery rhinorrhoea, provoked by bending the
head forward or by physical activity leading to
increased intracranial pressure (Fig.38.2a). The
rhinorrhoea can vary from infrequent episodes
with minimal leakage to frequent profuse watery
rhinorrhoea. CSF rhinorrhoea usually continues
when the patient is asleep and may lead to visible
‘water stains’ or a halo sign on the pillow. Patients
with profuse rhinorrhoea often describe a ‘salty
taste’, but this symptom is non-specic.
Specic enquiry with leading questions should
include the following: previous head trauma, even
from many years ago; previous sinus surgery; and
previous meningitis; especially if recurrent.
Non-traumatic spontaneous CSF rhinorrhoea
may be associated with idiopathic intracranial
hypertension in some patients and this should
always be considered (IIH: vida infra).
Occasionally, patients will complain of nonspecic accompanying symptoms such as headache, visual disturbances, dizziness or tinnitus.
These non-specic symptoms are mostly
explained by other, mainly neurological conditions and not by a CSF leak. However, it is important to appreciate that non-specic symptoms
may occasionally be associated with increased
intracranial pressure in addition to a CSF leak.
norrhoea. The diagnosis can be easily conrmed
by analysing the uid for beta-2 transferrin and/
or beta-trace protein.
CSF rhinorrhoea can also be mimicked by
water collecting in the maxillary sinus after nasal
rinsing or water sports, particularly after endoscopic surgery.
Occasionally, patients can present with episodic watery rhinorrhoea that is associated with
exercise or eating. The nasal drip in these
instances is physiological and more likely in
more senior age groups. Head injury may, on rare
occasions, cause watery rhinorrhoea induced by
emotion or exercise. This condition is known as a
pseudo-CSF leak and is the result of an altered
autonomic response.
Clinical Examination
CSF rhinorrhoea may be demonstrated during
clinical examination and its origin may be determined by nasal endoscopy. Endoscopy may
reveal other causes of rhinorrhoea such as chronic
rhinitis or rhinosinusitis, as well as assess operative access and anatomical anomalies of the septum and middle turbinates.
Otoscopy and microscopy should be performed with suspected CSF rhinorrhoea to
exclude a temporal bone defect with CSF tracking along the Eustachian tube.
In patients with infrequent or minimal leaks, it
is helpful to try to induce a leak by placing the
patient prone on a couch, exed at the waist with
the hands on the oor, in a head-down position.

In patients without an obvious CSF leak that can
be localised with nasal endoscopy, a CSF leak
should always be conrmed by identication and
analysis of two CSF-specic proteins: beta-2
transferrin and beta-trace protein; both have high
sensitivity and specicity for CSF [7–9].

H. R. Briner and A. C. Swift
Beta-2 transferrin: This is a glycoprotein
found in CSF, perilymph, aqueous and vitreous humour of the eye. The concentration in
nasal secretion, tears and serum is normally
very low, so detection of beta-2 transferrin in
nasal liquid suggests the presence of
CSF.Depending on the assay used, only small
amounts (10 μL) of liquid are sufficient to
detect the protein. Detection of beta-2 transferrin in the collected liquid is possible for up
to 14days if it is stored in the refrigerator. A
serum sample should be analysed alongside
the nasal liquid as the serum concentration
may occasionally be elevated and lead to a
false- positive result, particularly in patients
with chronic liver, kidney disease, alcoholism
and rare glycoprotein metabolic disorders.
False-negative results can occur when the
amount of liquid is below the detection threshold of the assay or when there is bacterial
contamination.
Beta-trace protein: This is prostaglandin D
synthase produced in the choroid plexus and the
meninges and has a high CSF to serum ratio. The
assays for beta-trace protein are faster, cheaper
and more automated than beta-2 transferrin
assays and have a very high sensitivity and specicity in detection of CSF. Beta-trace protein is
reported as an actual level that can be interpreted
as either ‘unlikely, equivocal or denite’ presence of CSF in the collected sample. Small
amounts (200μL) of liquid– which can be collected also by placing absorbent foam swabs
within the nose– are sufcient for the detection
of the protein. Renal insufciency and bacterial
meningitis may lead to higher levels of betatrace protein in serum and lower levels in CSF,
leading to false-positive results. As with beta-2
transferrin, the nasal liquid to serum beta-trace
protein ratio should be measured to achieve
higher reliability. Beta-trace protein and beta-2
transferrin tests can also be combined for further
accuracy.
Historically, a glucose oxidase test was used
to differentiate CSF from nasal secretion, but the
sensitivity and specicity is low and the test is no
longer recommended.
Imaging
The modern possibilities of imaging allow a
detection and precise localisation of most CSF
leaks. High-resolution computed tomography
(HRCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
are the two principal examination methods that
are complementary [8, 10, 11]. Imaging will help
with preoperative planning and identify other
pathologies such as signs of intracranial hypertension or other intracranial/sinonasal pathologies.
HRCT of the skull, anterior skull base, paranasal sinus system and the temporal bone is the
prime examination in CSF rhinorrhoea.
Multiplanar reconstruction with a bone window
algorithm allows detection of even small bony
defects associated with CSF leaks at almost every
location (Fig.38.3a, b). Secondary signs of CSF
rhinorrhoea such as intracranial air, mucosal
reaction to CSF or liquid in adjacent sinuses can
be of help in conrming the diagnosis.
MRI is superior to HRCT in differentiating
soft tissue pathologies such as herniation of brain
tissue in a meningoencephalocele, but not as
good in detecting small bony skull base defects.
Secondary signs of a CSF leak, such as liquid in
the adjacent sinuses, are easy to detect (Fig.38.3c,
d). MRI may also show signs of increased intra-
cranial pressure, such as an ‘empty’ sella or widened optic nerve sheaths.
Modern technology offers the option of fusion
of HRCT and MRI imaging (Fig. 38.4a, b).
However, for this to be successful, the MRI has to
be performed with the acquisition of ne detail to
facilitate adequate image fusion, and it is advisable to let the radiologist know of the intent on
how the images will be utilised.
CT cisternography with intrathecal application of contrast is an option if a leak is difcult to
detect, but this has largely been replaced by less
invasive MRI sequences such as MR cisternography with intrathecal gadolinium.
Historically, CSF rhinorrhoea was often conrmed by radionuclide cisternography after intrathecal injection of a radionuclide, but modern
scanning techniques have made this technique
defunct.
