On March 7th, the first successful session of the 9th Belgian Symposium took place in La Hulpe.

The evening focused on the important topic of differential diagnosis in MS, NMOSD and MOGAD. Given the nature of the disease course of NMOSD and MOGAD, it is essential to quickly and accurately diagnose a patient.

The participants benefited from lectures by Prof. Romain Marignier and Dr. Laurence Lutteri on Differential Diagnosis in MS, NMO-SD, MOGAD, and Advances in Clinical Techniques for CNS Inflammatory Diseases respectively. Moreover, the session saw lively discussions centered around real-life clinical cases, fostering an environment of interactive learning and collaborative exploration.

We are excited to announce that we are now preparing for the upcoming session scheduled for March 28th in Gent. As we continue our journey of knowledge exchange and exploration, please stay tuned for further updates.
