Abstract
Spontaneous CSF leaks frequently cause headaches, meningismus, and nausea due to intracranial hypotension. When conservative treatment fails, surgical repair is indicated. Especially ventral leaks necessitate invasive approaches with substantial blood loss and tissue trauma. Full endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) enables circumferential access via the transforaminal approach. Here, the authors show the successful repair of a ventral CSF leak in the thoracic spine after removal of bony osteophytes utilizing FESS with placement of a dural substitute and sealant. Lasting symptom relief was reported. These results suggest that FESS is safe and efficient for the repair of spontaneous and incidental CSF leaks.
