The transnasal endoscopic approach has become the preferred technique for the surgical management of patients with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks of the anterior, sellar, and parasellar skull base. The literature has reported an 85% to 100% success rate for the endoscopic repair of CSF leaks, which compares favorably with that reported after transcranial repair. Despite an adequate repair, a subpopulation of patients remain at high risk for recurrence of the CSF leak attributable to undiagnosed high-pressure hydrocephalus. Patients at high risk for high-pressure hydrocephalus include those who have had a subarachnoid hemorrhage as a result of trauma (accidental or surgical) or stroke and those with spontaneous CSF leaks.
