The Association Between Modiolar Base Anomalies and Intraoperative Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage in Patients With Incomplete Partition Type-II Anomaly: A Classification System and Presentation of 73 Cases
Objective: Modiolus and modiolar base abnormalities in patients with incomplete partition-II anomaly (IP-II) increase the risk of intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. This study aimed to classify modiolar abnormalities and define objective radiological measures for preoperatively evaluating intraoperative CSF leakage risk. Study Design: Retrospective case series. Setting: Tertiary referral center....
