Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) leaks are an under-recognized but treatable cause of debilitating headaches and neurologic symptoms. Through a series of expert-led lectures, interactive panels, and case-based discussions, attendees will gain insights into the clinical presentation of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH), advanced imaging strategies including decubitus CT myelography and digital subtraction myelography, and evolving treatment approaches such as targeted patching, surgical repair, and embolization of CSF-venous fistulas.
