Abstract
- Despite the well documented increased risk of osteopenia in patients with breast cancer during chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea (CSFR) is still rare. The authors present a case of spontaneous CSFR that occurred during chemotherapy and endocrine therapy for breast cancer. The patient underwent a repair using myofascia and adipose tissue and was started on mannitol. There was no recurrence at 1-year follow-up. Therefore, clinicians should pay attention to the possibility of CSFR in patients with breast cancer, to avoid misdiagnosis.<br />Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 by Mutaz B.
