1st North American Workshop on Neuropathology and Epilepsy Surgery Cleveland, Ohio, USA 27-30 April 2017

Description:
The 1st North American Workshop on Neuropathology and Epilepsy Surgery will enable participants to better recognize and classify various histopathological substrates of pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Reliable neuropathological work-up of epilepsy-associated brain lesions represents an important diagnostic value for the surgical management of patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. The workshop has been held in Germany, Brazil and China since 2013, with the endorsement of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE). Topics related to the diagnosis and treatment of human focal epilepsies will be presented by internationally renowned faculty. Advanced hands-on histopathology training will be offered in small groups led by distinguished tutors who will review and discuss microscopy slides of selected cases with different staining protocols. Participants will also have the opportunity to present their own cases for discussion with the entire group.
