Analysis and long-term outcomes of spontaneous cerebrospinal otorrhea repair via the middle cranial fossa approach.

Acta Otolaryngol

Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey.

Background: The incidence of spontaneous CSF otorrhea is increasing and knowledge about treatment management is growing.

Objectives: To analyse the cases operated the middle cranial fossa approach (MCFA) for spontaneous CSF otorrhea in our clinic and to evaluate the long-term surgical results in the light of the literature.

Methods: Demographic data, presenting complaints, complications, hearing outcomes, recurrence rates and long-term success of patients operated with MCFA between 2012 and 2022 in our tertiary care centre were evaluated.

An 11-year-old male Bengal tiger () was referred for a 2-week history of ambulatory tetraparesis, generalized ataxia, and hypermetric gait, associated with mild right head tilt and spontaneous proprioceptive deficit on the right forelimb. Neuroanatomical localization was C1-C5 myelopathy; cerebellum-vestibular system involvement was also considered. Hematology and serum biochemistry were unremarkable, although serum vitamin A (0.

Electronic address:

The brain uses a specialized system to transport cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), consisting of interconnected ventricles lined by motile ciliated ependymal cells. These cells act jointly with CSF secretion and cardiac pressure gradients to regulate CSF dynamics. To date, the link between cilia-mediated CSF flow and brain function is poorly understood.

Prevalence and characteristics of microspurs in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension compared to the general population.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

January 2025

From the Department of Neurosurgery (D.N., L.H., J.G., T.P., R.T.S., A.R., C.M.J.); Department of Neuroradiology (T.D., E.I.P.), Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, and Department of Neurology (C.S.), Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland. Department of Neurosurgery (J.B.), Medical Center, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.

Background And Purpose: In patients diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), microspurs are considered the culprit lesion in most ventral dural leaks (type I). The imaging characteristics of discogenic spurs, and their prevalence in the general population has not been reported in the literature.

Materials And Methods: This observational case-control study was conducted comparing the prevalence and characteristics of discogenic microspurs between SIH patients with a type I leak treated at a tertiary hospital between 2013 and 2023 and an age-and sex matched cohort of trauma patients.

Background: Orthostatic headache (OH) is a common feature of various conditions, including spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), but no precise definition currently exists outlining the typical OH characteristics. This ambiguity risks misdiagnosis with unnecessary investigations and delay in institution of treatment. The present study aimed to carry out structured phenotyping of OH in patients with SIH with the aim of outlining its typical characteristics.
