As director of the Aesculap-Charité Fellowship program in hydrocephalus treatment for neurosurgeons from China and Japan, I am pleased to present this educational opportunity which is funded by an annual grant from Aesculap.

The research fellowship has a clear emphasis on entity, diagnosis, and treatment options of hydrocephalus including and adult and pediatric patients.

Through the participation of my co-faculty member, Ulrich Thomale, participants will be exposed to the expanding repertoire of adult and pediatric hydrocephalus.
