N2 - Objective To determine the severity of symptoms and degree of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (sCSF) leaks of the temporal bone given the known association between sCSF leaks and OSA. Study Design Retrospective case review. Setting Ambulatory clinics in tertiary referral centers. Patients Polysomnogram testing in 34 consecutive patients who had been diagnosed with sCSF leaks of the temporal bone was examined. Diagnosis of sCSF leak was defined as biochemically confirmed CSF from middle ear fluid with no other obvious source. Intervention Diagnostic. Main Outcomes Measure(s) Patient characteristics (age, sex, body mass index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale score, presence of hypoxia, overnight change in blood pressure, and apnea hypopnea index [AHI]) were recorded. Diagnosis of OSA was defined as mild when AHI ≥5 and
