This article, titled "Audiometric Outcomes after Surgery for Spontaneous CSF Otorrhea and Temporal Bone Encephaloceles: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis," examines the audiometric outcomes of surgery for spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea and temporal bone encephaloceles using different approaches and repair materials. The study found that surgical treatment for these conditions improves hearing and reduces the risk of meningitis. The middle cranial fossa (MCF) approach appeared to have the greatest improvement in hearing, but more research is needed to compare different surgical approaches and repair materials.
