Call for Abstracts: 2012 Meeting of the International Society of Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders
The 2012 meeting of the International Society of Hydrocephalus and CSF Disorders (ISHCSF) will be held in Kyoto, Japan from October 19 to 22, 2012 (Hydrocephalus 2012, Kyoto).
Deadline of ‘Abstract Submission’ and ‘Abstract Modification’: June 29, 2012
This meeting will present the latest advances in the clinical care of and research in hydrocephalus and CSF disorders. Through this meeting, we expect to accomplish the ISHCSF mission of pursuing both clinical and basic research of CSF circulation and its related disorders and thereby promoting the best possible care for patients with these disorders.
There has been nearly a hundred-year of CSF research history since the pioneering work of Harvey Cushing. Research has produced many achievements in this field, but unsolved problems remain and challenge us to take the next step toward solving them.
Of course, another purpose of this meeting is to give all participants the opportunity to communicate, discuss freely, and share their recent progress in this field. We warmly welcome all participants and their families from all over the world.
