OVERVIEW

Chicago's 9th Annual Advances in Epilepsy and EEG - a Hybrid CME Program is organized by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine - Office of Continuing Medical Education and will be held from May 02 - 03, 2025 at Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women's Hospital, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.

Description:
Epilepsy is a rapidly evolving field. Specifically, in the last few years, artificial intelligence has changed our approach to diagnostic testing using EEG and MR Imaging. Genetic testing is now available not only for pediatric but also adult patients with epilepsy advancing our understanding of genetic etiologies and potential avenues for precision medicine. Lastly, functional neurosurgery continues to evolve offering more minimally invasive techniques to explore the epileptogenic zone or to target deeper structures for neuromodulation or disconnection procedures.

Objectives:

  • Apply the application of artificial intelligence in interpreting EEG and MR Imaging.
  • Determine which patients may benefit from minimally invasive epilepsy surgery.
  • Evaluate the risks and benefits of minimally invasive epilepsy surgery versus conventional approaches.
  • Examine the correlation between EEG biomarkers and genetic or metabolic epilepsies in childhood.
