Nasoseptal Flap Enhancement on Early Postoperative MRI Does Not Predict 3-Month Enhancement nor Postoperative Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak Risk
Overall, immediate postoperative MRI NSF enhancement (or lack thereof) did not predict enhancement at the 3-month MRI and did not correlate with postoperative CSF leakage. Hence, one should not rely solely on postoperative flap enhancement to assess the viability of the dural reconstruction.
