LIQUOREYA - the discharge of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the nose, ear, wound holes and other defects of the skull or spine, associated with damage to the dura mater.

The effluent fluid is usually clear and colorless, but can be stained with blood, it can be cloudy, etc. Liquorrhea can be obvious when there is an outflow of cerebrospinal fluid from the nose, external auditory canal, a wound with drops or a spray, amplified in certain positions, or Hidden when the cerebrospinal fluid flows into the nasopharynx or permeates the subcutaneous tissue.

Cerebrospinal fluid can be released through the defect of the meninges and bones of the skull in the area of ​​the operating wound (cerebrospinal fluid). Licvorea creates the possibility of infection of the cerebrospinal fluid and the risk of developing meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis and other complications. A patient with a cerebrospinal fluid should be hospitalized. Spontaneous closure of the CSF is possible, however, intensive conservative treatment (dehydrating, anti-inflammatory therapy, repeated spinal punctures, temporary drainage of the liquor system, etc.) is usually required. Often, surgery is required.
