Call for Cases for Workshops (interactive case discussions)
Delegates are invited to send in cases for the following 3 workshops:

Workshop 1: Neuromuscular cases 
Chairs and organizers:  Prof. Werner Stenzel (Berlin)  and Prof. Anne Schänzer (Gießen).
What We Are Looking for: Educational solved and unsolved muscle biopsy case contributions.

Workshop 6: Developmental neuropathology: malformations
Chair and organizer: Prof. Homa Adle-Biassette (Paris)

Workshop 12. Low-grade developmental and epilepsy associated brain tumors
Chair and organizer: Dr. Angelika Mühlebner (Utrecht)
What We Are Looking For: Cases related to the topic of the workshops. Key clinical features, diagnostic findings (e.g., imaging, pathology), and any unresolved questions.

Case Submission Process for all 3 Workshops:
Please send a short summary (1-2 paragraphs) of your case to the Euro-CNS Secretariat: secretariat@euro-cns.org. The slides are not needed at this point.

Deadline for submissions: 8 May 2025 or as soon as we have sufficient submissions. Please send a.s.a.p so that we can complete the schedule. Cases will be reviewed in advance (based on the provided summary) to ensure they align with the session objectives. We will inform you about placement. Session Details: Each presenter will have ~5-8 minutes to present their case, followed by discussion. The exact details will be announced once the selection has been made. Thank you for helping us make these workshops a success. We look forward to your submission!
