Abstract
We present a 40-year-old male who was admitted via the accident and emergency unit of the hospital on account of bleeding from the left ear following the injury sustained from road traffic accident about 10 hours prior to presentation.He sustained a head injury with left cerebrospinal fluid otorrhoea. Plain radiograph revealed wavy lucencies over the temporoparietal region with soft tissue swelling and a defect in the temporal bone extending in to the tympanomastoid area. Patient was managed conservatively with spontaneous closure of the fistula and resolution of the leakage within 8 days after head injury. We report this to further emphasis the role of conservative management in CSF fistula.
