2022 HANDS CSF Dynamics Webinar Series
The Hydrocephalus Association would like to invite you to the 2022 HANDS Webinar Series. The focus of this week-long series will be on different aspects of CSF dynamics in different etiologies of hydrocephalus. For more details on the CSF Dynamics Webinar Series and how to register, please refer to the information below. Join us to learn about the role of CSF in the pathogenesis of hydrocephalus and how CSF dynamics can be used to define the diagnosis of hydrocephalus.
