Cortical Mapping in Epilepsy Surgery, German

Course introduction:
This eSeminar, presented by Dr. Aline Herlopian from Yale University, will discuss two different epilepsy types: genetic generalized epilepsies and combined generalized and focal epilepsies. Cases will be presented to illustrate typical clinical presentation, EEG findings, and medication management.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eseminar the participants will be able to:

• • Identify the clinical characteristics of genetic generalized and combined generalized and focal epilepsy types
  • Introduce the audience to the typical and atypical EEG findings in these two epilepsy types
  • Medication management in both patient populations

This course is eligible for 1.0 CEC by ASET – The Neurodiagnostic Society

Course introduction:
In this presentation Dr. Hawryluk from the Cleveland Clinic will discuss current perspectives on intracranial pressure monitoring in brain injured patients. This will include new perspectives on the physiology of intracranial pressure elevation and when monitors should be placed. The eSeminar will also discuss recent progress in advanced neuromonitoring and emerging uses.

Course Objectives:

• • Understand Rosner’s vasodilatory and vasoconstriction cascades and the role of cerebral blood volume in intracranial pressure
  • Become familiar with SIBICC consensus views on ICP monitor insertion
  • Understand novel advanced neuromonitoring strategies
