Abstract
The peculiar condition known as nasal hydrorrhea although it generally falls, first of all at least, within the purview of the rhinologist and ophthalmic surgeon, properly belongs to neither of these specialists.

It is mainly with the latter that I propose to deal, although I present them as signs of the underlying, intracranial disease.
