1 regional conference preliminary programme 2016 Pre-LACTRIMS Conference 16 November, Buenos Aires, Argentina

2 2016 Pre-LACTRIMS Conference Overview Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system in Western Countries. However, as research evolves, new variants of demyelinating disorders emerge characterized by clinical phenotypes resembling MS. Spinal cord and visual pathway damage have a crucial role in orienting the differential diagnosis, as well as in providing prognostic elements in traditional MS. Therefore, dedicated sessions have been planned in this meeting to review these topics and help clinicians to address the no better clinical explanation criterium. Additionally, updates on the main novelties in MS, from pathogenesis to treatment, will be provided. Finally, the role of rehabilitation in counteracting disability accrual will be explored and discussed. Learning objectives By attending this conference the participants will be able to: Summarize the key elements of differential diagnosis of non traumatic myelopathy Illustrate the main diagnostic tool to estimate optic nerve damage Discuss novel biomarkers for treatment monitoring Describe the biological basis of neurorehabilitation Target audience Neurologists involved in MS patient management and physicians with a particular interest in MS, mainly from Latin America. Chairs Edgardo Cristiano MS Center, Department of Neurology Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires Buenos Aires, Argentina Celia Oreja-Guevara Department of Neurology, Hospital Clínico San Carlos.
