CSF rhinorrhea isa rare disorder. We report on 34 -year-old woman who had CSF rhinorrhea. It is a disorder that
occurs when the fluid that surrounds the brain leaks into the nose and sinuses.Ahole in the membranes that retain this
fluid can be caused by head trauma, surgery or even congenital defects.The liquid that leaks into your nose or ear,
resulting in a runny ,watery nose .CSF rhinorrhea is quite uncommon or rare. Meningitis and pneumocephalus are
two serious illnesses that can occur as a result of this disorder (air in the cranial cavity). The underlying cause of
CSF flow into the nasal cavity is disruption of the barriers between the sinonasal cavity and the anterior and middle
cerebral fossae.A subsequent communication with the central nervous system(CNS) can lead to cause infectious
problems, causing severe morbidity and potentially devastating for longtermdeficits in the patient. The imaging
method of choice for detecting a skull base defect associated with CSF rhinorrhea is high-resolution computed
tomography(CT)scanning. Allow the high likelihood of spontaneogenesis,conservative treatment has been urged in
cases of immediate -onset of CSF rhinorrhea follows the accidental trauma.
