Abstract

A case of non-traumatic "high pressure" cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is reported. There was a huge fibroblastic meningioma in the left parieto-occipital region along with hydrocephalus. Initially a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was done and then 12 days later the tumor mass was removed totally. After the operations the patient became free of leakage and a direct approach for the cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea was not needed.
