The patients submitted to full history, examination including nasal endoscopy, radiological investigation (CT and MRI) of the nose and paranasal sinuses and skull base and CSF analysis. Operative technique was endoscopic endonasal repair using fascia lata graft .With monthly follow-up.Results: Successful rate noted in 93% of the patients .No recurrence of meningitis attacks among those who reported meningitis on their presenting illness.Conclusion: Endoscopic endonasal repair of CSF rhinorrhea has less operative and postoperative complication.
