摘要
A 27-year-old female patient presented with chronic spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. She had deformity and weakness on the left side since childhood. Imaging examinations demonstrated hemi-hydranencephaly with a nearly complete absence of the right cerebral hemisphere, which was replaced with a membranous sac filled with CSF. She was accompanied with a frontal midline tumor containing lipids. After ventriculoperitoneal shunt, the CSF rhinorrhea completely ceased and no direct repair of the CSF fistula was necessary. The ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedure changes the CSF flow dynamics and releases the intracranial pressure, which may be a simple and effective procedure for CSF rhinorrhea in hemi-hydranencephaly.
