BACKGROUND
Anomalies in the anatomical structure of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses often serve as a potential cause of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and may result in the development of a meningoencephalocele. In this report, the authors present a case of surgically treated intrasphenoidal meningoencephalocele attributed to...
This report describes a case of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak through a narrow canal‐like fistula in the lateral wall of the sphenoid sinus, which was managed through rigid reconstruction. Rigid reconstruction of the skull base was performed by fitting a pile‐shaped bone into the fistula like the pile‐driving technique. The cranial base defe...
