AES Webinar: Infantile Epilepsy Guidelines
Presenters

The management of infantile epilepsy continues to evolve rapidly, driven by advances in diagnostics, genetics, and targeted therapies. This webinar will provide a focused review of newly published infantile epilepsy management guidelines, with emphasis on medication, surgical, and dietary treatment strategies.

Expert faculty will highlight key updates, including the evidence supporting specific therapies and guidance on when to refer patients to a specialized epilepsy center. Through clinically relevant discussion, attendees will learn how to incorporate these guidelines into real-world decision-making, optimize early intervention, and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Designed for pediatric neurologists, dietitians, pediatricians, and neurosurgeons, this session will also address ongoing controversies, implementation challenges, and future directions in infantile epilepsy care.
