Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis: Acquired Demyelinating Disorders in Children and Adolescents
June 27 - 28, 2008
This course is intended for primary care providers and specialists who see children and adolescents when they develop acute neurologic dysfunction. These events may be due to acquired demyelinating lesions of the Central Nervous System (CNS). This course will make attendees familiar with clinical findings which should suggest the possibility of acquired CNS demyelination. Typical imaging findings, laboratory diagnostic studies and protocols to differentiate from other neurologic syndromes will be discussed. Treatment of acute episodes and long term disease modifying therapies will be considered. Cognitive impact and social implications for children with acquired CNS demyelinating disorders and their families will be reviewed. Current and future research trends will be presented.
This multidisciplinary course will allow medical professionals and families an opportunity to network. Families of children with MS and children with MS are invited to attend this meeting and encouraged to attend special break- out sessions as noted in the program schedule.
