Résumé
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks may occur at the skull base or along the spinal column and can cause a variety of debilitating neurological symptoms for patients. Recognizing the potential presence of a CSF leak and then identifying its source are necessary for accurate diagnosis and definitive treatment. A standardized workflow can be followed for successful leak localization, which often requires several diagnostic studies, and for definitive leak treatment, which can range from minimally invasive, needle-based approaches to a variety of surgical corrections. This review paper provides an overview of epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic workup for CSF leaks and introduces available treatment options. An illustrative case of a skull base CSF leak demonstrating diagnosis and surgical correction is provided.
