8th Annual Pediatric Neurology Update Seminar
Friday, September 3, 2010
Executive Caterers at Landerhaven
Mayfield Heights, Ohio
Description
Keeping abreast of medical advances is an increasingly difficult task for all of us. We therefore offer this Pediatric Neurology Update Seminar in an endeavor to provide a state-of-the art review of a number of common pediatric neurological disorders.
This year’s course will focus on several pediatric neurological conditions including
- abnormalities of tone;
- partial seizures;
- current evaluation and management of status epilepticus in children;
- common and interesting neuro-ophthalmological problems in children;
- pediatric neurosurgical emergencies; and
- a potpourri of interesting neurocutaneous syndromes, somatic malformations and cerebral palsy.
We have an outstanding panel of speakers this year that will provide you with new insights and understanding into common disease processes and their state-of-the art care.
We look forward once again to having you take part this year in what promises to be a dynamic conversation and a fruitful learning experience.
