title: [The clinical analysis of endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the points for attention, repair material and the treatment of complications in repairing cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifteen cases of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea were repaired. One case was pituitary tumor involving radiotherapy, two cases were spontaneous, six were traumatic, six were traumatic,six were iatrogenic.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All cases were successfully repaired by endoscopy. The successful rate were 85.6%. Some cases were relapsed in different positions and some cases needed to be repaired more than two times even five times.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is a very good method with the virtue of convenient, high successful rate, less complication and repeatability. The method is worth spreading.
