Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea in a Patient With Breast Cancer

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.
