Expert rhinologists will use case presentations and videos to highlight the latest techniques for diagnosing and managing CSF rhinorrhea and IIH and to provide participants with the latest literature on comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for IIH. With newer interventional radiology procedures and medications for the management of CSF fluid dynamics and obesity, participants will be familiar with all options for patients to prevent recurrence of CSF leaks or long-term sequelae of IIH and improve IIH-related symptomatology.

Learning Objectives:

Analyze risk factors for CSF rhinorrhea and recognize signs and symptoms of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Optimize perioperative management of CSF rhinorrhea and improve surgical outcomes.
Develop multidisciplinary care pathways for peri- and postoperative IIH treatment.
