EANS Annual Meeting 2012

EANS 2012 will provide specialists in neurosurgery, neuroscience and neurology with a unique opportunity to gather the latest information on current topics in the field, including vascular neurosurgery.

This annual EANS neurosurgery meeting also facilitates networking to enhance the exchange of scientific knowledge between those in different cultures and training systems throughout Europe.

Join us in Bratislava — the beautiful, warm and culturally rich capital city of Slovakia, that flanks both banks of the Danube River.

The invited lectures, free papers, posters and oral-poster presentations will cover recent achievements and new perspectives in the following areas:

• Technical improvements that reveal neural anatomy and physiology of neural structures affected by pathological processes and endangered by surgical interventions,
• Novel therapies for brain tumours,
• Preservation of spine, spinal cord structures and their functions during surgical treatment of tumours and degenerative diseases,
• Functional surgery of brain and spinal cord.

Abstract Submission Topics will include:
• Functional neuroimaging
• Surgery of gliomas of the eloquent areas
• Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring
• Microsurgery and endoscopy of skull base tumours
• Tumours of the sellar region
• Intraoperative imaging
• Vascular problems in tumour surgery
• Surgery of cerebral aneurysms and AVMs
• Radiosurgery of tumours and vascular malformations
• Functional neurosurgery
• Spinal surgery (techniques preserving biomechanics of the spine)
• Spinal cord surgery
