Abstract
After a difficult nasal intubation a premature infant leaked cerebrosp inal fluid (CSF) from one nostril. After developing bacterial meningit is, the baby was referred for neurosurgical management of the CSF fist ula. Transaxial computed tomograms demonstrated a nasal encephalocele, but coronal scans were needed to show the defect in the cribriform pl ate.
