ZEE-Symposium 2025: Pediatric Epilepsy – Trends & Treatment
This year’s symposium will explore the latest trends and advances in pediatric epileptology and epilepsy surgery.
International and local experts will share insights into rare epilepsy syndromes, innovative neurophysiological and imaging methods, prognostic modeling and outcome prediction, as well as established and emerging treatment approaches such as the ketogenic diet and neurostimulation.
We look forward to welcoming a distinguished group of speakers and participants for an engaging exchange of ideas. The afternoon will conclude with informal discussions over an Apéro riche.
