Update on Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH)

Join the EANS CSF Section for the next webinar: Update on Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH).

iNPH: We all encounter it, we treat it, but do we truly understand the disease?

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from two of the leading experts in the field: Mats Tullberg, and Kerstin Andén from the renowned Gothenburg Hydrocephalus Research Unit. Together, they will share their extensive experience and the latest advancements in iNPH, covering everything from diagnosis to prognosis. As daily practitioners and researchers in iNPH, both are at the forefront of this field.

Directly ask the experts your questions during the live webinar series and gain actionable insights to enhance your clinical practice.

The webinar will be chaired by Jürgen Beck and moderated by Mansoor Foroughi and Katharina Wolf from the EANS CSF Section.

CSF-venous fistulas – how do I find them? And how are they treated?

The EANS CSF Section invites you to their next webinar, entitled:

CSF-venous fistulas – how do I find them? And how are they treated?

The EANS CSF Section welcomes Professor Dr. Wouter Schievink and PD Dr. Tomas Dobrocky, two experts in spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) to present on their approach to find and to treat CSF-venous fistulas.

Since Wouter Schievink was first to describe CSF-venous fistulas about 10 years ago, CSF-venous fistulas are recognized as an underlying cause of SIH in an increasing number.
Yet, finding the fistula can be challenging, as well as its treatment.

We look forward to learning from and to discussing with two of the most renowned experts in the field.

Spinal Cord Herniation – a CSF disorder?

We are glad to present the first joined webinar of the EANS Spine and CSF Sections:

Spinal Cord Herniation – a CSF disorder?

Join us on May 8th, 2024 at 17:00 CEST for some interesting insights on diagnostics and treatment of spinal cord herniation presented by Marcel Ivanov.

From symptoms over diagnostics to complex treatment, Marcel Ivanov will guide us through his unique field of expertise.

GLYMPHATICS – what is it and is it clinically relevant?

We are glad to invite you to the next webinar hosted by the EANS CSF Section, entitled:

GLYMPHATICS – what is it and is it clinically relevant?

The EANS CSF Section welcomes Professor Maiken Needergard and Professor Per Kristian Eide to its first webinar of the year, moderated by Mansoor Foroughi.

Maiken Needergard and Per Kristian Eide both contribute groundbreaking scientific work investigating the physiology of the glymphatic system and its role in diseases such as Alzheimer‘s and normal pressure hydrocephalus.

We look forward to learning about the newest findings, anticipating that glymphatics will drive clinical decision-making in the coming years.

Who needs a shunt, who needs revisions: CSF dynamics perspective

Hydrocephalus is far more complex than CSF circulation failure, however, since CSF dynamics is in most of cases clearly disturbed, it should be assessed before any surgical intervention (shunting, ETV, shunt revision) is made.
