Cerebrospinal fluid leaks of the cranial vault, constitute one of the most common complications after neurosurgical procedures. In this paper we introduce to you an observational study, in which a series of patients with this complication where managed by using elastic compression hat during 18 hours per day, for two weeks to four months. Every one of them presented complete resolution of the leak, without any recurrence until actual controls. After that we perform a review of the literature, demonstrating this is a new therapeutic management, being us the first group on reporting it. According to the observed results, it was concluded that despite more studies are required, the use of elastic compression hats for this kind of patients could be effective and safe.
