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...
