It is a great pleasure and honor to welcome you to France, and to the city of Toulouse for the 2025 Hydrocephalus World Congress, which will take place between 5-8 September 2025.

Toulouse is located in southwestern France, in the Occitanie region, in the Haute-Garrone department and is the fourth most populated city in France after Paris, Marseille and Lyon.

In terms of architecture, Toulouse is nicknamed “La Ville Rose” (The Pink City) due to the red-brick façades seen all over town. Toulouse is home to one of France’s largest universities outside of Paris; Airbus, Europe’s aeronautical manufacturing giant; and the Canal du Midi, the World Heritage Site-listed waterway that, with the Garonne River, helps ensure Toulouse always goes with the flow.

The continued growth of our Hydrocephalus Annual Congress is an indication of its high quality and impact. It is one of the most important congresses focusing on hydrocephalus and is a vital opportunity for clinicians and scientists to keep up to date with developments in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of hydrocephalus. We invite you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to present original works and share your experiences in the field.

Hydrocephalus 2025 will cover a full spectrum of hydrocephalus and CSF disorders affecting both children and adults, and thus we are preparing an exciting program with interesting and controversial topics. We invite clinicians in neurosurgery, neurology, paediatrics, radiology, geriatrics and psychiatry, basic scientists, engineers, nurses, therapists, technicians, neuropsychologists, patient advocates and others interested in hydrocephalus to join us and share knowledge, innovative ideas and create new partnerships.

On behalf of the Hydrocephalus Society, we look forward to warmly welcoming you to Toulouse in September 2025, to an excellent congress, in a truly inspiring location to make new contacts and friendships and of course renew old ones.

See you in Toulouse in September 2025!
