Endoscopic endonasal approaches are becoming increasingly popular over transcranial approaches for repair of cerebrospinal leak defects. Sphenoid sinus CSF leaks pose a significant challenge and carry the risk of life-threatening intracranial complications. Their management depends upon identifying the leak using imaging techniques followed by intraoperative endoscopic localization. Our experience in the endoscopic endonasal management of sphenoid sinus CSF leaks is reported in this paper.
