“…Biochemical tests on the collected fluid, particularly the often quoted use of glucose-oxidase test papers, are not fully reliable. The latter method has been shown to have a 45 to 75 % chance of positive results with normal nasal secretions (Gadeholt, 1964). Positive identification of cerebrospinal fluid necessitates introduction of suitable tracers into the cerebrospinal fluid cavities and their recovery in the nasal discharge.…”

“…Biochemical test on the collected fluid must show value for sugar of more than 30mg/dl to be conclusive, although a test with dextrstix reagent strip has a 45-75% chance of positive result with normal nasal secretions. A negative test is often very useful, particularly in traumatic cases with serosanguinous leaks 15 . Positive identification of CSF necessitate introduction of suitable tracer into the CSF cavities and their recovery into nasal discharge to localization of fistula 16 .…”

CSF rhinorrhea can be diagnosed with more accurate localizations of the site of leak with the help of modern radiological methods. The repair involves surgical intervention, which has changed from open craniotomy to minimally invasive techniques. Endoscopic repair has gained popularity in last decade and is being practiced by many neurosurgeons either alone or with their ENT colleagues. The overall success rate of endoscopic repairs has triggered several centers to adopt endoscopic repair as first line of treatment of CSF rhinorrhea. However the inexperience of neurosurgeon to sinus anatomy may pose some difficulties with the young neurosurgeons. The article presents a review of the techniques for confirmation of a CSF leak as well as endocscopic repair of CSF fistula.

“…The CSF has a much higher glucose content than nasal secretions (Gadeholt 1964). Unfortunately, tears draining into the nose may cause false-positive results; this test is only possible when there is a significant quantity of rhinorrhoea, and it obviously does not localise the leak.…”
