Spontaneous Closure of Traumatic CSF Otorrhoea Following Conservative Management
Lasisi, Akeem O.; Kodiya, Mohammed A. & Udoh, David O.
Abstract
We present a 40 year-old male who sustained a head injury with left cerebrospinal fluid otorrhoea following a road traffic accident. Plain radiograph revealed a defect in the temporal bone extending in to the tympanomastoid area. Patient was managed conservatively with closure of the fistula and resolution of the leakage within 8 days after injury. We report this to further buttress the role of conservative management in CSF fistula.
