Liquorrhoea, a review of 66 cases. 1980

K Ljunggren

Data on liquorrhoea in cases collected in 1947-1977 at the Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital of Lund, Sweden, are analysed with reference to: 1. Time of onset. 2. Symptoms and signs. 3. Diagnostic methods. 4. Treatment-conservative and surgical. 5. Antibiotic prophylaxis. In more than half of the 66 patients the onset of liquorrhoea was delayed more than one month after the head trauma. Antibiotic prophylaxis to all skull base fractures therefore is questioned. False positive reaction with locally applied test strips is noted. Gammacisternography for localization of the leaking area is recommended. If surgery is performed, a high rate of recurrence can be expected if the supposed leaking area is blindly covered.

D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D008581 Meningitis Inflammation of the coverings of the brain and/or spinal cord, which consist of the PIA MATER; ARACHNOID; and DURA MATER. Infections (viral, bacterial, and fungal) are the most common causes of this condition, but subarachnoid hemorrhage (HEMORRHAGES, SUBARACHNOID), chemical irritation (chemical MENINGITIS), granulomatous conditions, neoplastic conditions (CARCINOMATOUS MENINGITIS), and other inflammatory conditions may produce this syndrome. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1994, Ch24, p6) Pachymeningitis,Meningitides,Pachymeningitides
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D001927 Brain Diseases Pathologic conditions affecting the BRAIN, which is composed of the intracranial components of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. This includes (but is not limited to) the CEREBRAL CORTEX; intracranial white matter; BASAL GANGLIA; THALAMUS; HYPOTHALAMUS; BRAIN STEM; and CEREBELLUM.

D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

D002558 Cerebrospinal Fluid Otorrhea Discharge of cerebrospinal fluid through the external auditory meatus or through the eustachian tube into the nasopharynx. This is usually associated with CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE involving the TEMPORAL BONE;), NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES; or other conditions, but may rarely occur spontaneously.

D002559 Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea Discharge of cerebrospinal fluid through the nose. Common etiologies include trauma, neoplasms, and prior surgery, although the condition may occur spontaneously.
