Pediatric Neurology in LATAM

Objectives:

The symposium aims to present the challenges and advances in pediatric neurology care in Latin America. By using a random selection of complex medical diagnoses seen in pediatric neurology care worldwide, we will present our current LATAM experience, progress, and hopes for the future. We will compare our current diagnostic and treatment options with those of other centers around the world. We will explain our limitations and propose ways to continue growing as a community to provide better care for patients and families with neurological conditions.
