C258 - Education Blitz: Multiple Sclerosis
| Event Time: | Friday May 10, 2019 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm |
| Topic(s): | MS and CNS Inflammatory Disease |
| Director(s): | Stephen Krieger MD, FAAN |
| Description: | Dr. Krieger (Mount Sinai) and Dr. Azevedo (USC) will blitz through 6 current hot topics in Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and clinical course in this concise disease-focused program. Dr. Krieger will review clinical pitfalls in MS diagnosis in the era of the 2017 Diagnostic Criteria, provide insights into clinical course from the topographical model of MS, and examine the implications of a new laboratory biomarker for MS, neurofilament light. As MRI plays an essential role in establishing a diagnosis of MS and in monitoring MS patients over time, Dr. Azevedo will review current, clinically relevant topics in MS neuroimaging. This will include the challenges in detecting cortical lesions (which are included in the 2017 Diagnostic Criteria for MS), the assessment and clinical relevance of brain atrophy, and the utility of central vein imaging in distinguishing CNS demyelinating lesions from other causes of white matter hyperintensities. |
| Completion Message: | Participants should gain from this course an updated, nuanced view into MS diagnosis and clinical course utilizing these modern clinical, laboratory, and neuroimaging assessment techniques. |
