CSF rhinorrhoea post COVID-19 swab: A case report and review of literature.
J Clin Neurosci
April 2021
We report the case of a 59 year old male who presented with 2 months of persistent rhinorrhoea from left nostril post a nasal swab done for coryzal symptoms at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beta-2-transferrin confirmed it to be a CSF leak and imaging showed a left middle cranial fossa encephalocele herniating into the sphenoid sinus as the site of the leak post swab. The leak was treated endoscopically.

- Defects in the GRM7 gene, which encodes the metabotropic glutamate receptor 7, are linked to severe neurological issues in individuals with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) across six unrelated families.
- Genetic analyses, including exome sequencing, identified novel harmful variants in the GRM7 gene, leading to common symptoms like developmental delay, early-onset epilepsy, and microcephaly among affected individuals.
- Despite variances in clinical presentation, most showed signs of cerebral atrophy and hypomyelination on neuroimaging, with a significant mortality rate observed in early childhood.
