About the topic
2 Early-career physicians in Child Neurology will present two cases of neurometabolic diseases. The cases will be followed by the expert discussion, highlighting the relevance of clinical clues to the diagnosis of neurometabolic disease, how to approach them and the latest precision medicine options to treat them. Neurometabolic disorders are rare, sometimes inherited genetic conditions that disrupt the body's ability to process nutrients, leading to a buildup of harmful substances or a lack of essential energy for the brain and other organs. Symptoms can vary widely and may include seizures, developmental delays, muscle weakness, and problems with vision or hearing. Diagnosis involves specialised medical consultations and testing like blood tests, genetic tests, and MRIs, while treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
Learning Objectives
o Describe clinical clues to suspect neurometabolic diseases.
o Outline diagnostic approach to neurometabolic diseases.
o Present the latest advancements in the treatment of neurometabolic disease and their outcomes.

The webinar was very topical, with speakers that are well grounded in the subject matter. I loved the teacher method employed with a real case to stimulate the listener. I gained valuable knowledge and would definitely invite others to join subsequent sessions.
