Topics: Infectious Disease; MS and CNS Inflammatory Disease

Director: Oscar H� Del Brutto, MD, FAAN, Miami, FL

J K Program Description:Infectious diseases of the central nervous system affect millions of people in tropical areas, where most of these conditions are linked to poverty and underdevelopment� In addition, increased tourism and immigration have turned some formerly geographically restricted infections into widespread conditions� Parasites and viruses are top ranked among infectious diseases in the tropics� In addition, tropical neurology is not confined to infections, since other conditions such as nutritional and toxic disorders, as well as bites from snakes and other poisonous animals represent significant causes of disease in rural areas of these regions� Infections and other tropical diseases of the nervous system cause pleomorphic and nonspecific clinical syndromes, including seizure disorders, subacute or chronic meningitis, acute or subacute encephalitis, space-occupying brain lesions, stroke, and myelopathy� In this course we will review the most common tropical diseases in the tropics� This program will be presented in Spanish.

Upon Completion:Participants should be able to recognize and treat the most common infections and other diseases affecting the nervous system in tropical areas�

C171 Spanish Symposium: Update on Epilepsy Therapy for Pharmaco-resistant Epilepsy

Topic: Epilepsy/Clinical Neurophysiology (EEG) Director: Andres M� Kanner, MD, FAAN, Miami, FL

J K Program Description:Approximately 30% to 40% of patients with epilepsy fail to achieve seizure remission with antiepileptic drug therapy� In the last decade, there have been important innovations in pharmacologic, surgical and neuromodulation therapies� The aim of this program is to highlight the latest advances in the pharmacologic treatment with third generation AEDs, the new strategies of epilepsy surgery relying on less invasive techniques, such as laser ablation and the

use of stereoencephalography for a more accurate localization of epileptogenic areas in non-lesional focal epilepsies and the use of neuromodulation techniques such as Responsive NeuroStimulation and Deep Brain Stimulation of thalamic nuclei�

The program will be complemented with presentation of challenging cases that illustrate the use of these new pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies� These cases will also be used to facilitate discussion among the faculty and with the audience� This program will be presented in Spanish.Upon Completion:Participants should be able to recognize the role of third generation AEDs in the management of epilepsy; decide on the use of various surgical strategies in the the presurgical evaluation and surgical management of non-lesional focal epilepsy; and have an understanding of when to chose one of the neurostimulation modalities (Response Neurostimulation System vs vagus nerve stimulation vs deep brain stimulation of anterior thalamic nuclei)�
