The Masterclass by IFCN presentations were created in response to a call from IFCN members societies for more high quality, complimentary, online educational content. The series will provide a new presentation every month from top clinical neurophysiologists around the world, and each will include time for discussion with the lecturer following the presentation.
Providing the best in contemporary clinical neurophysiology education delivered in the most optimal format is the primary educational goal of the IFCN. As such, Masterclass by IFCN will be available complimentary to all registrants.
The Masterclass by IFCN presentation:
"Neurophysiology of Facial Nerve Palsy: What, Why and When"
will take place on Saturday, February 19, 2022 at 7:00 AM EST (1:00 PM CEST)
Professor Josep Valls-Sole will present "Neurophysiology of Facial Nerve Palsy: What, Why and When"
In this presentation, Prof. Valls-Sole will describe the neurophysiological tests applicable for the characterization of peripheral facial palsy at its various stages. While the main practical use of neurophysiology is for establishing the degree of conduction block and axonal loss, other aspects such as excitability changes and reinnervation errors merit adequate and timely neurophysiological exams. A reasoned guideline on when and why to apply specific neurophysiological tests will be provided.
