| Title | Late-Onset Occult Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage After Orbital Exenteration. | | Author(s) | Yuen HK, Cheng AC, Auyeung KC | | Institution | *Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong; and †Hong Kong Eye Hospital, Hospital Authority Ophthalmic Services, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, The Peopleʼs Republic of China. | | Source | Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg 2008 May/June; 24(3):238-240. | | Abstract | Orbital exenteration can be complicated by cerebrospinal fluid leakage, mostly during surgery. Late-onset cerebrospinal fluid leakage that occurs years after the initial orbital exenteration is rare. The authors report a case of cerebrospinal fluid leakage that occurred 4 years after orbital exenteration that was not due to tumor recurrence. The leakage was managed successfully by the application of cyanoacrylate tissue glue. No complication was encountered. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
