In this episode of Head and Neck Innovations, Edward Doyle, MD, and Varun Kshettry, MD, join host Paul Bryson, MD, to discuss the diagnosis and management of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and encephaloceles. They explore common presentations, advances in imaging and diagnostic testing, and collaborative surgical approaches for skull base repair. The conversation also highlights the growing recognition of idiopathic intracranial hypertension as an underlying cause of spontaneous CSF leaks, as well as emerging treatment strategies including venous sinus stenting, weight management, and GLP-1 receptor agonists.
