Pediatric Weight Loss Surgery for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension

Pediatric Weight Loss Surgery for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is organized by Pediatric Nursing Certification Board (PNCB).

Description:
Explore the compelling case study of a 9-year old female with severe obesity and idiopathic intracranial hypertension who was referred to a pediatric bariatric surgical team for weight loss surgery. Walk through the multiple failed treatment attempts employed over a two-year period, types of metabolic and bariatric surgery available, and important considerations, including ethical issues, when referring preadolescents for this procedure. You’ll review the patient’s outcomes for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy occurring over the 12-month post-operative period. PNCB gratefully acknowledges the parents’ consent and patient’s assent to share this unique and incredible healthcare journey.
