Abstract
Anterior clinoidectomy has a significant advantage in excluding paraclinoid aneurysms from the blood flow, but it carries a potential risk of developing postoperative cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea. Development of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea can lead to various intracranial purulent-inflammatory complications. Conservative treatment of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea is not effective, and currently, there is no established surgical strategy for this complication. This article describes a successful surgical treatment of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea following resection of the anterior clinoid process using endoscopic transnasal repair of the skull base defect using autografts and xenografts.
