Spotlight on Excellence: Dr. Hatem Daoud to Present at the 5th World Neuroscience, Neurology & Brain Disorders Summit 2026
The 5th World Neuroscience, Neurology & Brain Disorders Summit (WNNBDS 2026)—scheduled for January 14–16, 2026, at Novotel Al Barsha, Dubai, UAE—continues to attract leading minds from across the global neuroscience and neurosurgery community. Among this year’s distinguished contributors is Dr. Hatem Daoud, who will be presenting a poster titled:
“Giant Dilatation of Virchow–Robin Spaces Presenting with Obstructive Hydrocephalus: A Case Report.”
His selection as a poster presenter reflects not only the scientific relevance of his work but also his growing influence as a dedicated neurosurgeon committed to advancing knowledge in complex neurological disorders.
About Dr. Hatem Daoud

He currently serves in the Neurosurgery Department at Habib Bourguiba University Hospital in Sfax, Tunisia, where he plays an integral role in managing a wide spectrum of neurosurgical conditions. His responsibilities include clinical care, emergency neurosurgical interventions, operating theatre procedures, and participation in multidisciplinary case discussions.
Dr. Daoud’s professionalism, precision, and dedication to patient care have positioned him as a valuable member of Tunisia’s growing community of neurosurgical specialists.
Academic and Clinical Interests
Throughout his training and professional journey, Dr. Daoud has developed strong interests in several key domains of neurosurgery:
1. Neuro-Oncology
He has contributed to the evaluation, diagnosis, and surgical management of:
-
Gliomas
-
Meningiomas
-
Pituitary tumors
-
Metastatic brain lesions
His focus lies in improving surgical accuracy, optimizing patient safety, and integrating modern neuro-oncological practices into routine care.
2. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Disorders
Dr. Daoud is actively involved in the management of CSF-related conditions including:
-
Obstructive hydrocephalus
-
Communicating hydrocephalus
-
CSF flow abnormalities
-
Ventriculoperitoneal shunt complications
-
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) procedures
These conditions often require nuanced decision-making and long-term follow-up—areas in which he demonstrates substantial expertise.
3. Advanced Neuroimaging
Modern neurosurgery increasingly relies on detailed imaging, and Dr. Daoud has advanced experience in:
-
MRI-based analysis
-
Diffusion tensor imaging
-
Perfusion imaging
-
Identification of rare anatomical variants
His ability to correlate imaging findings with clinical presentation has greatly strengthened his diagnostic acumen.
4. Clinical Research and Case Reporting
He is committed to enhancing neurosurgical literature through carefully documented case reports, clinical audits, and participation in collaborative studies. His research interests emphasize rare conditions, diagnostic challenges, and emerging management strategies.
About His Poster: A Case of Clinical Significance
Title:
“Giant Dilatation of Virchow–Robin Spaces Presenting with Obstructive Hydrocephalus: A Case Report.”
Virchow–Robin spaces, typically microscopic perivascular compartments, rarely present with extreme dilatation. When they do, their appearance may mimic cystic lesions or mass-forming pathologies, complicating the diagnostic process.
In this case, Dr. Daoud presents a patient with giant dilated Virchow–Robin spaces producing obstructive hydrocephalus, an exceptionally rare presentation. His poster underscores:
-
Diagnostic challenges in differentiating these spaces from pathological cysts
-
The importance of advanced neuroimaging in identifying their origin
-
The clinical decision-making process for managing hydrocephalus arising from unusual causes
-
How early recognition can prevent complications and guide appropriate surgical or medical intervention
Such case reports provide essential insights, promoting better understanding of uncommon neuroanatomical presentations and supporting neurosurgeons in making accurate diagnoses in complex scenarios.
Contributions to Neurosurgery in Tunisia and Beyond
Tunisia has steadily expanded its footprint in neurosurgical excellence, supported by institutions like Habib Bourguiba University Hospital, which contribute significantly to research, training, and high-quality patient care in North Africa.
Dr. Daoud represents this growing strength through:
-
His commitment to academic medicine
-
His contribution to case-based scientific learning
-
His active role in refining neurosurgical practices
-
His ambition to build international collaborations
By presenting at an international conference of this scale, he not only advances his own professional development but also brings recognition to Tunisia’s evolving neurosurgical landscape.
Engagement at the WNNBDS 2026
The World Neuroscience, Neurology & Brain Disorders Summit is known for its focus on scientific rigor, global participation, and multidisciplinary learning. Dr. Daoud’s involvement offers him the opportunity to:
-
