Resumen

Se presenta una serie de 29 pacientes afectos de rinorraquia, que en 17 casos era postraumática y en 12 de aparición espontánea. Se expone la técnica del tapizamiento de la fosa anterior utilizada por los autores, así como los resultados obtenidos, que son más favorables en los casos postraumáticos que en los espontáneos, de los que un 25% son rebeldes a esta técnica. Se analizan los argumentos expuestos por los especialistas O.R.L. que a juicio de los autores no son suficientes para excluir el tratamiento neuroquirúrgico, por vía intracraneal, de estos procesos.
