DESCRIPTION
The Neurovascular Stroke Education Series invites consultants and trainees to an ongoing discussion of neurovascular stroke cases. Attendees are encouraged to submit cases for review and discussion amongst members of the departments of neurology, neurosurgery, neurocritical care, and neuroradiology. Neurovascular anatomy, clinical pathology, and innovations in diagnosis and treatment will be presented as topics of discussion. The goal for this conference is an interactive forum that serves to expand the knowledge of its attendees, provide a space for the presentation of complex and controversial cases, and to cultivate an environment of collaboration amongst different specialties involved in the care of the neurovascular stroke patient.
