We report a case of a 65-year-old obese female who developed a unilateral nasal cerebrospinal fluid leak after starting autotitrating positive airway pressure therapy for obstructive sleep apnea. The cerebrospinal fluid leak was confirmed by β-2 transferrin testing of the nasal fluid, as well as by identification of the leak through the anterior cribriform plate after administration of intrathecal fluorescein. The cerebrospinal fluid leak was successfully repaired endoscopically, and autotitrating positive airway pressure was reinitiated 1 month postoperatively.

一位 65 岁肥胖女性,在开始使用自动滴定正压通气治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停后,出现单侧鼻脑脊液漏。通过鼻液 β-2 转铁蛋白检测以及在椎管内荧光素给药后通过前筛板确认漏口,证实了脑脊液漏。通过内镜成功修复了脑脊液漏,术后 1 个月重新开始使用自动滴定正压通气。
