Once diagnosed, the disorder cannot be precluded but a multidisciplinary approach and close examination of the affected individual is needed. Instructions should be given to the patient and the family about reporting new symptoms and routine follow-up visits. If affected individuals exhibit symptoms of unnatural pituitary function (e.g. impotence or disrupted menstrual cycle), tests and treatment must be provided in consultation with the physician. If the patient does not show new symptoms after five years from initiation of the treatment, the follow up visits can be reduced. As for visual disturbances, the patient is in higher risk of injury and relatives should be instructed in attending self-care and assisting in everyday life activities. However, patients suffering from liquorrhea should maintain bed rest in a semi-Fowler position. Also, sneezing and coughing should be avoided, as these increase the pressure within the skull and favor a continuity of CSF leak.
