Why does it matter?Spontaneous v. another etiology

• Endoscopic repair: 90‐95% success rate– Standard of care

– Excellent visualization

– Avoid frontal craniotomy

• Spontaneous CSF leak: 13‐75% success rate historically

• Increased ICP: negative risk factor for repair

of idiopathic intracranial hypertension?

Fourth Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 24-27, 2014 | Pittsburgh, PA

Normal CSF Physiology

• Normal CSF pressure: 5‐15 cm H20

• Total CSF volume: 90‐150 mL

• CSF production: Choroid plexus 0.35 mL/min

• CSF absorption: Arachnoid villi acts as a one‐way valve

– Pressure gradient of 1.5 – 7 cm H20 for antegrade flow

Direct Evidence of Increased ICP in Spontaneous CSF Leaks

• IIH diagnosis requires ICP of 25 cm H20

• ICP after endoscopic repair in spontaneous CSF leak: 27 and 32.5 cm H20

• ICP after endoscopic repair in traumatic CSF leak: 14 cm H20

Can a reduction in CSF pressure alone be used to treat CSF leaks?

Fourth Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 24-27, 2014 | Pittsburgh, PA

Reduction in CSF pressure

• Medications– Acetazolamide– Topiramate

• Shunting– Lumboperitoneal shunting– Ventriculoperitoneal shunting

• Weight loss– Gastric bypass reduced CSF pressure from 35.3 to 16.8 cm H20 Sugerman Ann Surg 1999

Does decreasing ICP improve outcomes of endoscopic repair of spontaneous CSF leaks?

Fourth Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 24-27, 2014 | Pittsburgh, PA

Perioperative Concerns

• After repair and no further CSF diversion, ICP increase to 27‐32.5 cm H20

• Possible stress on repair

• Lumbar drains?

• Medical therapy?

• Shunting?

• 6 failures

– 3 at a second site, failure to control ICP

Acetazolamide and CSF leaks

• Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor

• Reduces CSF production by 48%

• Mean reduction of 10 cm H20

• Report decrease in tinnitus, headache

• No long term benefit demonstrated

Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors and IIH

• Acetazolamide: Conflicting evidence in vision

– Visual fields: effective

– Papilledema: ineffective

• Topiramate & Acetazolamide

– Both effective for IIH: Headaches, Tinnitus, and visual fields

– Topiramate: Weight Loss

• Cochrane review: insufficient data to recommend

Shunting

• Spontaneous CSF Leaks

– Effective in 2 larger case series

• Empty sella syndrome

– Neurological symptoms

– Visual symptoms

– Repair of CSF leaks

• IIH

– Preventing visual loss

Why not shunt everyone?

• Shunt failure rate: 3‐10%

• Infection (27%)

• Overdrainage issues

• Estimated 40‐50% shunts are removed at 2 years

Evidence supporting Reduction in ICP after Repair of Spontaneous CSF leaks 

• Medical reduction of ICP i.e acetazolamide

• CSF diversion

– Level 4

• Weight loss

Conclusions

• Spontaneous CSF leaks are a distinct entity that is likely a variant of IIH

– Demographic, Clinical and Radiographic

• Decreasing ICP may improve successful outcomes after endoscopic repair

– Case series
