ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk factors of multiple skull base defects, as well as features of diagnosis and treatment of this pathology.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis included 39 patients who underwent surgery for nasal CSF leakage at the Burdenko Neurosurgical Center in 2000-2019. The study recruited patients with multiple simultant skull base defects.

RESULTS: Traumatic defects were observed in 23 (59%) patients, spontaneous defects - in 16 (41%) cases. All patients underwent endoscopic endonasal closure of skull base defects with autografts.

CONCLUSION: Multiple defects are more common in severe traumatic brain injury. The main risk factors of multiple spontaneous defects are female sex and overweight. Adequate diagnosis implies high-resolution CT (slice width 0.5-1 mm), as well as intraoperative control of all suspicious and «weak» areas. Endoscopic endonasal technique is effective and safe for multiple skull base defects (efficiency 97%).
