11th International Summer School for Neuropathology and Epilepsy Surgery - INES 2020 postponed to 2021
9th - 12th September 2021 | University Hospital, Erlangen Krankenhausstr. 12
Reliable neuropathological work-up of epilepsy-associated brain lesions represents an important diagnostic value for the surgical management of patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. The international classification of epilepsies recognizes a large spectrum of brain lesions as potential predictors of disease progression and treatment response.
The 11th International Summer School for Neuropathology and Epilepsy Surgery is designed to enable participants to better recognize and classify various histopathological substrates of drug-resistant epilepsy. Topics related to the diagnosis and treatment of human focal epilepsies will be presented by internationally renowned faculty. Advanced hands-on histopathology training will be offered in small groups led by distinguished tutors who will review and discuss microscopy slides of selected cases with different staining protocols. Participants will also have the opportunity to present their own cases for discussion with the entire group. The workshop has been held in Germany, Brazil, USA and China since 2013, with the endorsement of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE).
2nd Cycle, 1st EPIPED Course
21st - 24th April 2021 | Girona, Spain
The aim of the 3-year cycle EPIPED training course, endorsed between others by the ERN EPICARE, the ILAE EUROPE and the EPNS, is to reduce the geographical and knowledge gap by providing neurologists and child neurologists involved in epilepsy care the opportunity for a regular update on best treatment practices in children with epilepsies.
The concept of EPIPED is based on a 3-year cycle of independent annual training courses, developed specifically for child neurologists, physicians and epilepsy nurses caring for patients with epilepsy.
Oxford Masterclass in Epileptology Epilepsy and Transition
7th May 2021 | Corpus Christi College, Oxford
We are delighted to invite you to what will be the 8th Oxford Masterclass in Epileptology at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. The Masterclasses aim to tackle a difficult area of epileptology over the course of a day with renowned national and international speakers. We encourage the sessions to be interactive with time for discussion after each talk and over the tea/coffee and lunch breaks.
The theme this year is the transition of people with epilepsy.
We very much hope that you will be able to join us in Oxford!

The workshop has been held previously in Germany, Brazil, USA and China with a focus on histopathology. Advanced hands-on histopathology training will still be offered in small groups led by distinguished tutors but also includes NOW hands-on skills on reformatting brain MR images. We will offer our participants use cases to further develop their skills and help integrating their knowledge of histology and imaging related to the diagnosis and treatment of human focal epilepsies.
New frontiers in pediatric epilepsy: reducing the gap in pharmacoresistant epilepsies and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
19th February 2020 | Auditorium Valerio Nobili Viale Baldelli 38, Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesu’, Roma
Complex tuberous sclerosis is a rare disease that typically arises with skin lesions, epilepsy and intellectual disability. Epilepsy in tuberous sclerosis is severe with onset seizures generally in the first months of life, the seizures are drug-resistant. Furthermore, in many cases, intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders are associated. Tuberous sclerosis is underpinned by mutations in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes that are part of the mTOR pathway. From a therapeutic point of view, immunosuppressive and antiangiogenic drugs have been shown to be effective in reducing seizures. Furthermore, numerous scientific evidence is in favour of a surgical therapy which consists in identifying the tubers responsible for the seizures and removing them. The mTOR pathway is therefore responsible for this disease as well as for other malformations of cortical development. The aim of the conference is to discuss advanced diagnostic and therapeutic aspects in the treatment of patients with tuberous sclerosis.
