The maxillary sinus is the first sinus to appear (7-10 weeks) as a shallow groove expanding from the primitive ethmoidal infundibulum into the mass of the maxilla. Abortion and expansion

Nuclear machine studies Indication: inactive intermittent, small/questionable CFS leak Leaks not revealed by CT cysternography. Detect presence rather than precise localization. Radio isotopes introduced in CSF by Lumbar Puncture /suboccipital

The clinical finding of CSF rhinorrhoea represents only the site of existing CSF but not the origin of the fistula. Accurate definition of the leakage site is undoubtedly the must

Spontaneous CSF rhinorrhoea occurs in patients without antecedent cause and they are termed if no aetiology leading to it could be identified. However recent evidence has led us to realize
