The symposium will cover all aspects of hydrocephalus: from the basics of anatomy and physiology to identifying the condition, treatment options, long term management and other disorders associated with hydrocephalus.

    • Recognize how to diagnose, evaluate, and treat hydrocephalus.
    • Identify acute and chronic failures of treatments associated with hydrocephalus.
