4th Fred J. Epstein International Symposium on Pediatric Neurology, Neurosurgery, NF March 15–19, 2009 Eilat, Israel
The symposium is in memory of Fred J. Epstein, M.D., the founding director of the Institute for Neurology and Neurosurgery (INN) at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. Fred Epstein's groundbreaking surgical techniques, and his commitment to humane patient care, earned him a reputation as the world's leading pediatric neurosurgeon.
This event presents a further update in the diagnosis and management of diseases of the nervous system in infants and children that may be treated surgically. Emphasis will be placed on joint, rather than parallel, sessions with both neurological and neurosurgical approaches. This gathering of professionals should be a unique opportunity for the dissemination of knowledge and experience. We hope that this meeting will bridge the gap in communication among various disciplines for the benefit of both the child and the entire family.
