For the diagnosis of this disease at Medanta, the doctor will take your history and perform a physical examination. The history should include all the events associated with the onset of rhinorrhea such as prior surgery or trauma, the character of the nasal drainage, duration of it, what makes it better and worse, its complications and treatment.
To confirm or identify the route of CSF rhinorrhea, three forms of imaging are available:
It is only recommended in cases of spontaneous CSF leak or head trauma, independent of any medical or surgical ways. It would include 1-2 weeks of bed rest. A lumbar drain may be placed in the low back to decrease pressure of the CSF fluid, around the area of the leak, which often allows it to heal.
It is used when the conservative treatment fails. The approach can be either through an external incision or endoscopic. The goal of surgical therapy is repair of the dural defect, contributing to the CSF leak
You should immediately consult a doctor if you begin to face symptoms such as extreme dizziness, headaches, nausea and changes in vision. With their cutting-edge technology and advanced treatment, you will be ensured perfect health.
