Neurology Update & Stroke Intensive Review

59th Annual Conference

Epilepsy

• By evaluating a detailed semiology, physicians will be able to more clearly distinguish the underlying etiology of paroxysmal psychiatric or behavioral symptoms.

• Assess and anticipate potential risks of misdiagnosis and delay in proper treatment implementation.

Headache

• Expand understanding of diagnosis, novel therapeutics and evolving pathophysiology.

• Integrate novel therapies into individualized care plans to reduce disability.

Neuro-Oncology

• Assess the nuances in the diagnostics and management of meningiomas.

• Improve the understanding of neurologic complications of cancer treatment and drug delivery.

Neuromuscular

• Differentiate cancer immunotherapy–related myopathies from other inflammatory and toxic myopathies.

• Recognize clinical red flags for life-threatening overlap presentations (myositis, myocarditis, myasthenia gravis).

Movement Disorders

• Improve diagnostic accuracy when distinguishing PD from atypical parkinsonism using practical algorithms and bedside red flags; reduce inappropriate testing; initiate earlier, condition-specific counseling and care plans.

• Strengthen bedside recognition of movement phenomenology through case videos; apply structured diagnostic frameworks; initiate first-line management or referral when indicated.

Multiple Sclerosis

• Identify and appropriately utilize high-efficacy therapies early in the disease course, optimizing long-term outcomes and reducing relapse-related morbidity in patients with MS.

• Improved awareness and early recognition of immune-related neurological adverse events will facilitate timely interventions, thereby reducing morbidity in affected patients.

Stroke

• Apply current diagnostic strategies to distinguish benign conditions such as migraine aura or visual snow from urgent ischemic causes of transient visual loss.

• Define the 2023 revisions to the AAN brain death criteria.

Cognitive Disorders

• By following the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer Association criteria for Alzheimer’s disease, Mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease, and presymptomatic Alzheimer’s disease, clinicians will be able to accurately diagnose this disorder.

• By following the McKeith criteria for Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Mild Cognitive Impairment due to DLB, clinicians will be better able to recognize and diagnose this disorder.

General Neurology

• Understand the use and value of the different imaging modalities used in diagnosing Cervical Spondylotic Myopathy.

• Properly identify those patients who are at risk for a spinal cord injury.

Neuropsychology Division

• Describe factors believed to be contributory to cognitive difficulties and guidelines to address them.

• Understand a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques that can promote a better quality of life and treatment outcomes for patients with neurological conditions.
