Abstract: (55 Views)
COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2 and has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. One of the diagnostic methods is performing a swab test from the nasopharynx, which carries a risk of complications. In this article, we present a patient who developed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage from the nose following a COVID-19 test. A 54-year-old woman presented with unilateral nasal rhinorrhea after undergoing the swab. A skull base defect was identified on computed tomography (CT) scan. The defect was repaired via an endoscopic approach using periumbilical fibro-fatty tissue. This case highlights the need to standardize protocols for performing swab tests.
