WFN Digital Neurology Update (WNU 2024)
On Thursday 26 and Friday 27 September 2024, the first WFN Neurology Update (WNU) 2024 will take place. This is a virtual 2-day meeting, which will give an update on the most prevalent neurological diseases in the morning, and add teaching courses in the afternoon. It will be virtual, and can be accessed either live or upon request.
This commitment for a neurology update is new, and also serves to fill the gap between the biennial World Congresses of Neurology (WCNs). As at the WCN, the WFN will continue virtual access to our meetings, as the reach of the WFN meetings has increased and reached 132 countries at the most recent WCN XXVI, which was both in-person and virtual.
Our program includes thorough updates on crucial neurological topics such as stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, headache, multiple sclerosis, and neuromuscular diseases.
We are committed to making WNU 2024 accessible to all, including low and middle-income countries, ensuring that as many people as possible can benefit from the latest neurological insights and advancements.
See you online, 26-27 September 2024!

The session will conclude with a dynamic Q&A session, offering you the chance to engage directly by asking questions.
Stay Ahead in MS Research and Treatment
"Update in Multiple Sclerosis and CNS Demyelinating Diseases” presented by the esteemed Prof. Bassem I. Yamout, a Professor of Neurology at the American University of Beirut.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects millions of people worldwide, with new insights about this disorder constantly emerging. This session will cover the epidemiology of MS, new concepts in immunopathogenesis and etiology, recent diagnostic criteria and red flags for avoiding misdiagnosis, therapeutic advances, disease management in special populations (elderlies, children, pregnant women), and updated treatment guidelines for both relapsing-remitting and progressive MS.
MS therapeutics are evolving rapidly as several novel disease-modifying therapies (DMTs)have been added to our armamentarium in the last decade. Appropriate selection of MS therapies is critical to maximize patient benefit.
