Abstract
A young child developed delayed CSF rhinorrhea and CSF leak from the eye presenting as tears after a head injury. The tears were CSF which had tracked from the cribriform plate through the ethmoidal air sinuses to the medial aspect of the left orbit. There was marked chemosis and it was likely that the tears had leaked through damaged conjunctiva.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
