Abstract submission is now open for the Hydrocephalus 2026 World Congress, which will be held in São Paulo, Brazil, on 31 July – 3 August 2026!
We look forward to receiving original scientific research from hydrocephalus and CSF disorders related professionals, discussing developments, controversies, and arguments, new practices, and technologies in regard to Hydrocephalus treatment.
Young Investigators Awards
Continuing a long-standing tradition of the Hydrocephalus World Congress, the 2026 edition will once again feature the Young Investigators Awards as one of its key highlights.
Young researchers are invited to submit their work for consideration. Selected abstracts will be presented in three dedicated sessions during the Congress, and award recipients will receive prize money and/or complimentary registration for the next Hydrocephalus Annual Congress.
Submit your abstract by 16 March 2026 and become part of the
scientific programme of the Congress!

We are pleased to present this month’s interesting paper, “Neuro-ophthalmological findings in pediatric ventricular shunt failure: a systematic review” authored by:
Soren Jonzzon MD, Anthony Price MBA, Nina Truong BS, Robert P. Naftel MD, Paul H. Phillips MD, John C. Wellons III MD, MSPH, and Albert M. Isaacs MD, PhD.
Key take-aways:
• When a child’s ventriculoperitoneal shunt fails, one major danger is rising intracranial pressure.
• The review found that about 62% of children with surgically confirmed shunt failure showed neuro-ophthalmologic findings such as optic disc swelling (papilledema), vision loss, or eye movement/nerve palsies.
• After shunt revision surgery, most kids improved in disc swelling or nerve palsy (~80 – 90%), but unfortunately, vision loss did not reliably improve.
• The authors suggest that checking for eye/vision signs should be part of how we evaluate shunt function, not just brain scans and symptoms.
