CSF rhinorrhea is an uncommon condition, this condition arises as a result of thinning or attenuation of the bone which separates the brain from the sinonasal cavity. CSF leaks into the sinuses when there is a breach in the bone and dura and patients experience clear watery nasal discharge from the affected side only.
