Common Paediatric Neurological Conditions

When our younger patients are affected by diseases of the nervous system, we can be challenged not only by the examination of the cat or dog but also what treatment options exist for us. Inherited, congenital and familial diseases are obviously important considerations but inflammatory diseases, toxicities and traumas should also be considered. In this session, we will focus on the most common issues that we may face in practice and touch on some of the less frequent conditions. Expect to hear about the recognition and management of Chiari-like malformation and syringomyelia, hydrocephalus, juvenile epilepsy, AA subluxation and metabolic encephalopathies.
