ABSTRACT
Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea is a rare condition that poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 34‑year‑old female who presented with persistent watery nasal discharge from the left nostril for four months. Computed tomography confirmed CSF leakage. The patient was managed using a functional integrative medicine protocol designed to restore physiological balance, optimize mucosal integrity, and enhance dural healing. The approach incorporated personalized nutrition, anti‑inflammatory dietary strategies, nutraceutical support, adaptogenic phytomedicine, glandular therapy, acupuncture, and cranial pressure regulation practices. These interventions provided non‑invasive support to the body’s natural repair mechanisms and reduced procedural risks. Complete and sustained recovery was achieved without surgical intervention. This case highlights the potential role of integrative medicine as a noninvasive and effective alternative in the management of spontaneous CSF rhinorrhoea.
