Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, or a CSF leak, is a condition where CSF leaks through a hole or tear in the skull base. This can cause a variety of symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, and a runny nose.

Several factors can contribute to CSF rhinorrhea, including:

  • Head trauma: Injuries to the head can cause fractures in the skull base that may lead to CSF leaks.
  • Spontaneous leaks: Sometimes, CSF can leak without a clear cause.
  • Nasal surgery: Certain nasal surgeries can damage the skull base and increase the risk of CSF leaks.
  • Congenital defects: In some cases, people are born with defects in the skull base that can predispose them to CSF rhinorrhea.
The most common symptom of CSF rhinorrhea is a clear, watery discharge from the nose. Other symptoms may include:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Neck stiffness
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Hearing loss
