Most acute cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea or otorrhea caused by skull base fracture can be cured by non-surgical treatment, and only a few patients who last for more than 3 ~ 4 weeks will consider surgical treatment.

1. Non-surgical treatment: generally, the head height is 30 lying on the affected side, so that the brain tissue sinks into the leak to facilitate adhesion and healing. At the same time, it is necessary to clean the nasal cavity or ear canal, keep the stool unobstructed, limit the amount of liquid, and properly administer drugs to reduce the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid, such as analgesia. To prevent intracranial infection, don't do lumbar puncture, stay up in bed, avoid coughing, sneezing and stuffy nose, and give antibiotic treatment. Most leaks can heal themselves within 1-2 weeks after injury.

2. Surgical treatment: Only 2.4% of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage needs surgical treatment, and it is only necessary to repair the cerebrospinal fluid leakage when the leakage hole exists for a long time or recurs many times after self-healing.
