12:00 PM — 12:30 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to summarize the current understanding of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) as a disease process and the potential underlying mechanisms, identify the diagnostic criteria and associated imaging findings, and recognize IIH mimics and imaging characteristics.
Ian Mark, MD
12:30 PM — 1:00 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to explain invasive evaluation prior to sinus stenting, summarize the steps of sinus stenting, and correlate pros, cons and risks of sinus stenting.
Eike Immo Piechowiak, MD
1:00 PM — 1:30 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to understand the clinical presentation of patients with SIH, recognize the typical findings of SIH on brain MRI, and distinguish SIH from other pathology on brain MRI.
Jessica L. Houk, MD
1:30 PM — 2:00 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to summarize the aetiology of dural tear /fast leaks and describe characteristic MRI findings, compare the approach and different myelographic strategies in fast leaks, and review pearls and pitfalls in spinal MRI interpretation and in dynamic myelography for fast leaks.
Lalani Carlton Jones, MD
2:00 PM — 2:30 PM
Question and Answer Session
2:30 PM — 2:45 PM
Break
2:45 PM — 3:15 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to describe the types of CSF leaks found in patients without extradural fluid collections, understand myelographic techniques employed to find CSF-venous fistulas and slow leaks from diverticula, and recognize cutting-edge technology that will likely be increasingly used in the future in patients with SIH.
Ajay A. Madhavan, MD
3:15 PM — 3:45 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to describe the fundamental components of an epidural blood patch procedure, identify key technical considerations when performing and epidural patch that may maximize therapeutic success, and critically appraise the state of the evidence behind the efficacy of epidural blood patching.
Timothy J. Amrhein, MD
3:45 PM — 4:15 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to explain the rationale for transvenous embolization as a treatment option for patients with SIH, recognize the clinical and imaging findings used to identify SIH patients as potential candidates for transvenous embolization, and describe the basic approach to performing CSF venous fistula embolization and factors that influence technical and clinical success.
Nicholas Thomas Befera, MD
4:15 PM — 4:45 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to describe the surgical approaches to CSF leak due to dural tear, describe the surgical approaches to CSF leak due to CSF-venous fistula, and identify the indications for surgery.
Wouter Schievink, MD
4:45 PM — 5:15 PM
