 Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea (CSF rhinorrhea) is divided into traumatic and nontraumatic types. This paper reports a case of nontraumatic CSF rhinorrhea, which is relatively rare.

 A 24-year-old man was operated on for removal of a pituitary adenoma (frontal craniotomy) in February, 1971, and received postoperative Liniac irradiation (5040r). Seven years after the operation the pituitary adenoma was reccured, and he underwent the same operation and postoperative iradiation. About 9 months after the second surgery, he developed CSF rhinorrhea and meningitis. Several operations for closure of fistula by neurosurgeons were unsuccessful. We performed a transmaxillay approach for its closure in December, 1980, with the successful result. The postoperative course was uneventful.

 This paper discusses CSF rhinorrhea in general, and emphasizes the role of otolaryngologists, as well as neurosurgeons, in the repair of CSF rhinorrhea.
