Posttraumatic cranio-orbital cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula is rare, occurring when there is a communication between orbit and subarachnoid space. This communication can be caused by orbital tumors with intracranial extension or can be a result of orbital surgery. Low suspicion for traumatic orbital CSF fistula can lead to delay in diagnosis, which increases the risk of meningitis. We report a cranio-orbital CSF cystocele and fistula that mimicked orbital cellulitis in a 3-year-old boy following an orbitocranial penetrating injury.
创伤后颅眶脑脊液瘘很罕见，当眼眶与蛛网膜下腔之间存在连通时就会发生。这种连通可能由伴有颅内扩展的眼眶肿瘤引起，也可能是眼眶手术的结果。对外伤性眼眶脑脊液瘘的低怀疑度可能导致诊断延迟，从而增加脑膜炎的风险。我们报告了一名3岁男孩在眶颅穿透伤后出现的颅眶脑脊液囊肿膨出和瘘，其表现类似眼眶蜂窝织炎。
