Track: Pediatric Neurology

Pediatric Neurology
The Pediatric Neurology session aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in diagnosing and managing neurological conditions in children. Focused on neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders and ADHD, this session will provide valuable insights into emerging research and innovative treatment strategies. By addressing both the clinical challenges and research breakthroughs, we aim to enhance understanding and improve patient outcomes for these prevalent conditions.

Epilepsy and genetic neurological disorders will also be key topics of discussion. Participants will gain insights into recent advancements in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy, including novel medications and surgical interventions. The session will further explore the role of genetics in pediatric neurology, highlighting the impact of genetic research on personalized medicine and the management of genetic disorders. These discussions will underscore the importance of integrating genetic insights into clinical practice to tailor treatments for individual needs.

Additionally, the session will cover cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques and their application in pediatric neurology. Attendees will learn about the latest advancements in imaging technologies and their role in diagnosing and managing complex neurological conditions. We will also discuss pediatric stroke and neuropsychological assessment methods, emphasizing their significance in early detection and targeted intervention. This session aims to equip participants with the latest knowledge and practical skills to advance their practice and improve care for pediatric patients.
