2023 Intracranial Hypotension Conference

Saturday, July 8, 2023, 7:00 AM - Sunday, July 9, 2023, 5:00 PM HST, The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort - Kohala Coast Hotel


This two-day multidisciplinary activity on the topic of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH), secondary to spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, brings together clinicians and researchers to share the latest advances in the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of this under-diagnosed, disabling but treatable secondary headache disorder. While the course is designed for clinicians and researchers, patients and caregivers are welcome to attend either in-person or via live-streaming. Invited speakers include representatives from a range of subspecialties, including anesthesiology, neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology, and genetics. The topics will cover the variety of clinical presentations, differential diagnoses, complications, cranial and spinal imaging, percutaneous interventions and surgical approaches. The anatomy of the spontaneous leak types will be discussed, along with tailored imaging and treatment approaches. Iatrogenic leaks and related disorders will provide additional insights. There will be interactive discussions about diagnostic and treatment challenges, and opportunities for collaborative research. Join your colleagues in learning about important developments in the field and share your insights about priorities for the future.
