Pediatric Neurosurgery Symposium 2019

Continued medical education for residents and pediatric specialists is key to stay up to date with the latest developments and thoughts in the rare diseases we treat in our pediatric patients. The interdisciplinary discussion and exchange of knowledge is the foundation of best medical care. This year we will discuss highly relevant and also controversial topics. We will discuss basic concepts but also novel aspects in the management of Chiari malformation. This session will bring to you the latest thoughts on diagnosis, clinical decision making and treatment options. The second session will provide an in depth discussion on the difficult topic of neurofibromatosis. Neurofibromatosis Type I in children is a very complex disease, demanding extensive teams of specialists knowledgeable in manage-ment and treatment protocols. An interdisciplinary approach in specialized clinics is key for best medical treatment. We will have a broad panel of specialists covering the most important aspects from radiological, neurosurgical, neurological, oncological, spinal and ophtalmological point of view. This session should be highly relevant for all physicians seeing those children. The session will be closed by a round table discussion with an expert panel allowing participants to ask their burning questions. We are again proud to have world renowned experts giving key note lectures and specific talks on the two sessions of symposium.
