Sarah Butterfield BSc(Hons) BVSc PGDipVCP MVetMed MRCVS, a clinician in Neurology and Neurosurgery, completed her Neurology residency at the Royal Veterinary College in London and has worked in several referral hospitals in the UK. Neurology cases can often be daunting in first-opinion practice and this jam-packed day will help you gain confidence in examining and managing all sorts of neurology cases in practice, with lots of interactive case-based content!
Performing the neurological exam and lesion localisation - this lecture will take you through performing a thorough neurological examination, including initial triage and providing top-tips for interpretation, how to neuro-localise and come up with sensible differential diagnoses.
Vestibular disease in Practice - this lecture will discuss common causes of vestibular signs in dogs and cats, including meningoencephalitis of unknown aetiology, otitis media/interna, idiopathic causes and FIP (neurological feline infectious peritonitis).
Managing Epilepsy in Practice - this lecture will talk through recognition and causes of seizures in dogs and cats, as well as best treatment for both chronic and acute emergency cases.
Epilepsy mimics – Movement Disorders and Tremor Syndromes - is it a seizure? This lecture will discuss conditions often mistaken for seizures including paroxysmal dyskinesia (movement disorder) and tremor syndromes.
Approach to Acute Spinal Disease - with acute paralysis being a common neurological presentation, this session will talk through common causes and treatment options including intervertebral disc disease, ANNPE (acute non-compressive nucleus pulposus extrusion), ischaemic myelopathy and spinal fractures.
Clinical Approach to Neck Pain - this lecture will discuss common neurological causes of neck pain including intervertebral disc disease, SRMA (steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis) and discospondylitis, how to diagnose them including how to safely perform CSF sampling and treatment options.
Approach to the Weak Patient and Neuromuscular disease - with neuromuscular disease often over-looked, this lecture will talk through the most common diseases including acute polyradiculoneuritis, myaesthenia gravis, botulism and tetanus.
Feline Specific Neurological Conditions - cats can be particularly challenging when it comes to neurology! This session will talk through feline cases of the more common diseases including FIP, intervertebral disc disease, tail-pull injuries, seizures/limbic encephalitis and dysautonomia.
