Proper identification of the site, size, multiple, and bilateral defects is very important to prevent recurrences after cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak repair. The utility of intrathecal fluorescein and a blue-light filter in this has been established before. We are reporting a case of a spontaneous CSF leak in an unusual site, which was identified completely with the help of intrathecal fluorescein and blue-light filter and successfully managed by the endoscopic approach.
