OUR EXPERIENCE OF USING NASAL SEPTUM FLAP FOR CLOSING DEFECT OF ANTERIOR CRANIAL FOSSA AND ARRESTING OF LIQUORREA
Abstract
For liquidation of liquorrea via the defect of the skull base and in dura mater we used mucosal-perichondrium flap from nasal septum of the opposite site. It becomes possible if after removal of mucosa and skeleton of nasal septum on the affected site turned it on the opposite side and close the defect. In this situation a mucose should lay inferiorly. Above —mentioned method was used in 4 cases. In 3 of them wide-extended cancer of maxilla was diagnosed, in one case- osteoma with extension in anterior cranial fossa and in orbit. In all cases liquorrea was surely arrested and there were no intracranial complications.
