Description
Raub, Ruzevick and their co-authors review acetazolamide for cerebrospinal fluid leaks at the front skull base in 2024. Such leaks are a hard surgical problem that needs fast notice and treatment, by medicine, surgery or both.
The review screened many studies and kept a set covering leaks from surgery, trauma and spontaneous causes tied to high pressure in the head. For surgical leaks, the drug was often paired with fluid diversion. For trauma, it sometimes worked as the sole treatment. For spontaneous leaks, it often backed up surgical repair. The authors say the drug should be considered in all three settings.
