Popis:	The diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula may require invasive techniques. Detection of CSF and perilymph-specific beta 2 transferrin and MR cisternography which greatly enhances the CSF signal are sensitive and noninvasive techniques which allowed a precise diagnosis in seven patients with suspected CSF fistula. We review the different diagnostic techniques used for CSF fistula, beta 2 transferrin analysis and MR cisternography appear to provide accurate and noninvasive methods for investigating CSF fistulae. They should replace invasive techniques such as CT cisternography.
