All presented with chronic otorrhea after tympanostomy tube placement and conductive\/mixed hearing loss. The mean preoperative air\u2010bone gap was 19\u00a0dB. A transmastoid approach alone was used in 15 cases; 1 underwent middle fossa craniotomy. Most defects were located in the tegmen mastoideum and tympani. All repairs were multilayered, typically using autologous mastoid bone, temporalis fascia, and tissue sealant. Primary repair was successful in 15 cases; 1 patient with persistent postoperative otorrhea subsequently underwent middle fossa craniotomy, but no frank leakage was found. No serious complications were encountered. Following transmastoid repair, postoperative audiograms were available for 14 patients. The mean improvement in air\u2010bone gap was 12\u00a0dB. Closure of the air\u2010bone gap to \u226412\u00a0dB occurred in 100% of cases.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The transmastoid approach to repair of spontaneous temporal bone CSF leak is highly successful.
