ABSTRACT
The article describes the specific aspects of the combined method of plastic reconstruction of skull base defects in patients with nasal liquorrhea with sphenoid sinus localization. 15 patients with CSF fistula localization in sphenoid sinus underwent this surgery. In 8 cases meningocele was diagnosed. The main advantages of this technique are as follows: good visualization of all sphenoid sinus section, secure plasty of liquor fistula, functionality, preservation of anatomic continuity of nasal cavity and sphenoid sinus.
