Speaker: Pr Kumaran Deiva When: Mercredi, Mai 21, 2025 Time: 7 PM CEST About Topic: La SEP de l’enfant est reconnue de plus en plus précocement grâce à l'amélioration des critères diagnostiques (2017 IPMSSG). Les traitements de fond utilisés chez l’adulte sont désormais validés chez l’enfant : le fingolimod a été le premier approuvé pour les formes pédiatriques récurrentes. D’autres biothérapies comme le natalizumab ou l’ocrelizumab sont utilisées hors AMM avec des résultats prometteurs. La prise en charge actuelle repose sur une approche précoce, individualisée et multidisciplinaire, intégrant neurologie,...

Speaker: Dr Mark Gorman, MD When: Saturday, May 10, 2025 Time: 09:00 AM Eastern Time ( US/ Canada ) About Topic: Opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome is a rare neuro-immunological disorder affecting the cerebellum. In children, the average age of onset is 18 to 24 months, and 50-60% of patients have a neuroblastoma as part of a paraneoplastic process. Due to its rarity, severity and lack of a definitive biomarker, numerous challenges exist, including delayed diagnosis, variation in treatment approaches, and historically poor cognitive and behavioral outcomes. However, significant progress has been made...

Speaker: Dr Caroline Sevin; When: April 18, 2025; Time: 6 pm CET (7 pm CEST); About Topic: This Webinar will focus on X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a genetic disorder affecting the nervous system and the most frequent leukodystrophy in children and males. We will discuss clinical symptoms, underlying molecular mechanisms and therapeutic approaches. We will also highlight the crucial role of early screening for early detection, enabling timely intervention and the importance of continuous follow-up to monitor disease progression and the effectiveness of emerging treatments. Learning Objective: ...

Speaker: Pr Seraphin Nguefack When: Thursday, March 20, 2025 Time: 4 pm (CET) About Topic: Psychomotor delay is a frequent reason for consultation in paediatric neurology. The causes can be acquired or innate and be responsible for fixed or progressive psychomotor delay. One of the primary aetiologies of psychomotor delay in our context is perinatal asphyxia with anoxo-ischemic encephalopathy. Access to genetic and molecular investigations still remains difficult in our context. Management is essentially symptomatic. Prevention is the key to treatment for preventable causes Learning Objectives: o Define psychomotor delay in children o Describe...
