6th Bologna EPIPED-EEG Course: EEG interpretation in pediatric epilepsies

Physicians, even when not specialized in epilepsy, have to face new-onsetpotentially rare, complex or drug-resistant epilepsies. EEG and Video-EEG (VEEG) are always the first diagnostic tools with history acquisition and clinical examination. 

Analyses of the EEG and VEEG recordings guide both the prescription of otherdiagnostic investigations (neuroimaging, genetic screening) and the first treatmentchoices. Follow-up and treatment strategies also highly depend upon EEG and VEEG. 

This course on interactive interpretation of EEG and VEEG patterns is developed specifically for child neurologists, neurophysiologists and pediatricians caringfor children with epilepsy.

Highly experienced mentors will lead the lessons: to privilege interaction eachcourse will be limited to 40 participants. In addition, 5 additional inscriptions will begranted to neurophysiopathology technicians. 

The course is designed in the format of practical training modules. To facilitateinteraction during EEG interpretation the learners will be matched in groups ofmaximum 6 per 2 mentors. 

Pre-acquired basic EEG knowledge if highly recommended, but if it is necessaryone basic group of 6 learners could be formed. 

Registration will be offered on a first-come first-served basis.
