[Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea in achondroplasia with hydrocephalus (author's transl)].
Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea was observed in a 12-year old girl with achondroplasia and communicating hydrocephalus. The leakage ceased and did not recur after treatment by ventriculo-atrial shunting (Holter valve) without plugging the fistula. The pathogenetic factors in this case are discussed.
