A CLINICAL CASE OF GUNSHOT WOUND OF THE ORBIT COMPLICATED BY FOREIGN BODY OF SPHENOID SINUS AND CEREBROSPINAL FLUID FISTULA
The authors describe a clinical case of gunshot wound of the orbit, complicated by a foreign body in the sphenoid sinus and late nasal liquorrhea, confirming the significant potential of endoscopic rhinosurgery in the treatment of this pathology. After a depth rhinoendoscopic and clinical examination in Donetsk centre of Rhinology the patients underwent a successful endonasal plasty of cerebrospinal fluid fistula. This observation suggests that intranasal surgery of cerebrospinal fluid fistula is less traumatic, avoids craniotomy and its associated complications, significantly reduces the treatment time and material costs for the rehabilitation of these patients.
