Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea secondary to small tumor invasion into the superior sagittal sinus--case report.
A 53-year-old male presented with non-traumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea due to obstructive extension of a small parasagittal meningioma. Radical excision of the tumor was curative. The rhinorrhea apparently developed due to increased intracranial pressure associated with primary empty sella.
