What Causes Leakage Fro Nostril After Surgery For Broken Nose?
CSF Rhinorrhea
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to HCM forum.
This is not a tall normal.
Your history is clearly suggestive of CSF Rhinorrhea-leaking of cerebro spinal fluid through a defect in the base of skull.
Usually such leaks seals off spontaneously.But,as you had this for 2 years,this is unlikely,and we have to repair the dura surgically to stop the leakage.The procedure (endoscopic dural repair) is a minor one,and you can seek the help of a neurosurgeon.
If left uncorrected,this can lead to serious complication like bacterial meningitis,brain abscess etc.
Meanwhile,avoid frequent stooping down,avoid forceful nose blowing/sneezing.Include enough fruits and veges in diet to make your stool soft(straining at stools can increase the leak).
Hope this will answer your query.
Wishing you good health.
Thank you.
