- Abstract
- Skull base spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid fistulas have been recently recognized as secondary to pseudotumor cerebri. In most cases, they occur in the ethmoid region and the sphenoid bone which is much less affected. Regardless of their etiology, the clinical manifestation of skull base fistulas is usually the same and includes a rhinorrhea and less frequently an otorrhea. We report a case of a cryptic sphenoid cerebrospinal fluid fistula discovered intraoperatively during the excision of a pituitary ACTH-secreting microadenoma (2mm in diameter).
