Dear collegues:
The CSF leak after a septoplasty is no a so rare complication after nasal
surgery. The upper insertion of middle turbinate at "lamina cribosa" make
it possible only because there was a little manipulation of this anatomic
structure. Normally leak resolves spontaneouslly but sometimes it persists
and needs a surgical endoscopic approach.
