Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Preoperative
  • Patient undergoing elective craniotomy/craniectomy for pathological processes in the posterior fossa (such as benign and malignant tumors, vascular malformation, and Chiari 1 malformations) or in the supratentorial region and who are demonstrated to have persistent CSF leakage following suture closure of the dural incision. CSF leakage will be evaluated during a period of Valsalva of 20\-25 cm of H20 for 5\-10 seconds.
  • Administration of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis
  • Age \>\= 18 years
  • Patients who are able and willing to comply with the procedures required by the protocol.
  • Signed and dated written informed consent from the subject or from his/her legal representative prior to any study\-related procedures.
  • Intraoperative
  • Surgical wound classification Class I. Penetration of mastoid air cells during partial mastoidectomy is permitted.
  • The cuff of native dura along the craniotomy edge is wide enough based on the surgeon's judgement to facilitate suturing and to allow for sufficient surface area for adherence of the investigational product.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no

Exclusion Criteria

  • Preoperative:
  • Subjects with a dura lesion from a recent surgery that still has the
  • potential for CSF leakage.
  • Chemotherapy scheduled within 7 days following surgery.
  • Radiation therapy to the head scheduled within 7 days following
  • Long\-term (6 months) low dose steroid therapy for existing
  • chronic/inflammatory conditions to be resumed within 7 days following
  • surgery. However, postoperative tapered high\-dose steroids are
  • Subjects with severely altered renal function as confirmed by local lab reference ranges for serum creatinine and/or hepatic function \[ALT, AST \> 5 x upper limit of norm (ULN)]
  • Evidence of an infection indicated by any one of the following: clinical
