This is a lively, interactive case-based session where interesting neuromuscular cases will be presented and discussed by the group. The format is a brief case presentation, with discussion by the group, followed by a "wrap up" with emphasis on key learning points by the presenter. The cases are a mix of common and more challenging neuromuscular cases. No one will be put "on the spot" but all are welcome to contribute to the discussion! Electrodiagnostic results and pathology are often included in the case presentations. All are welcome - you do not have to be an "expert" in nerve and muscle disease to attend!

We will have 5-6 case presentations by neuromuscular specialists and Fellows. The case presentation will be 10 minutes, followed by a 10 minute discussion and case wrap-up.

Learning Objectives:

Have an opportunity to get to know and interact with colleagues with an interest in neuromuscular disease from across Canada
Describe the localization of the problem presented in the cases within the peripheral nervous system
Develop an appropriate differential diagnosis and suggest investigations for each case
Discuss results of muscle biopsy, electrodiagnostic studies and imaging related to the cases
Learn about new advances in the area of nerve and muscle disease

Presentations:

5:15 PM – 5:20 PM MST
