Abstract
✓ Two cases of persistent cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea were successfully treated by lumboperitoneal shunts. One case was of spontaneous origin, and the other was associated with a basilar skull fracture. The authors emphasize the value of this procedure when the source of the leak cannot be found or when more direct methods of treatment have failed.Keywords
