![Jese Leos](https://encyclopedia.apooobooks.com/author/israel-bell.jpg)
CSF rhinorrhea is a condition that occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks from the nose. CSF is a clear, colorless fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord. It is produced by the choroid plexus, a network of blood vessels in the ventricles of the brain. CSF circulates through the ventricles and subarachnoid space, which is the space between the brain and the skull.
