It was reported that the patient underwent a craniotomy procedure on unknown date and bone wax was used. The patient underwent re-operation to repair a csf leak. The surgeon opined the re-operation was required due to the sub-optimal adherence of the wax to the bone and its failure to stay in place allowing the csf leak to occur. At the time of re-operation the previously placed bone wax was dry, brittle, loosely attached to the bone. The patient is doing well currently. (b)(4).
