The accurate preoperative localization of the leak point is essential for planning surgical treatment, but is sometimes difficult. To localize the leak point, magnetic resonance cisternography (MRC) is the method of choice, but its effectiveness remains unclear. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 34-year-old mildly obese female experienced spontaneous CSF rhinorrhea after an attack of bronchial asthma. High-resolution computed tomography (CT) failed to reveal the leak point, while MRC demonstrated an arachnoid herniation at the olfactory cleft. The patient underwent endoscopic endonasal repair of the CSF leak with success. There has been no recurrence of CSF rhinorrhea for 14 months after surgery followed by the administration of acetazolamide. CONCLUSION: We report a rare case of spontaneous CSF rhinorrhea associated with benign intracranial hypertension, in which the leak point was successfully detected by MRC. The CSF leak was completely repaired by minimally invasive endoscopic endonasal surgery. MRC may be a reliable method for detecting CSF leak points.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":1.3862943611198906,"endowment":1.3862943611198906,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"24872916","pmcid":"PMC4033760","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2015845531","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":0.2866,"citation_percentile":0.61217413,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2017,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":2}],"oa_status":"hybrid","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/2152-7806.131105","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.4103/2152-7806.131105","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24872916","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/4033760","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC4033760","host_type":"Europe_PMC"}],"fields_of_study":["Head and Neck Surgical Oncology","Cerebrospinal fluid and hydrocephalus","Neurosurgical Procedures and Complications"],"mesh_terms":[],"keywords":["rhinorrhea","Medicine","Leak","Cerebrospinal fluid","Cerebrospinal fluid leak","Magnetic resonance imaging","Acetazolamide","Surgery","Endoscopic endonasal surgery","Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea","Radiology","Anesthesia","Pathology","Skull","Benign Intracranial Hypertension","Magnetic Resonance Cisternography","Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea","Leak Point"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-13T01:59:01.824156Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
