Rounding off our first section on the Neuroanatomy of the Spinal Cord & Brainstem, Mr Kevin Tsang, a consultant neurosurgeon at Imperial College London, will implement & bring together topics discussed by our previous 3 speakers through clinical discussion & case studies.

During the session, we will review a wide range of topics related to spinal injuries, including the anatomy of the spine from childhood to old age, the different types of spinal injuries (bony, ligamentous, neurological), the radiological and MRI appearances of these, and information on how to recognise the signs and symptoms of spine trauma in different age groups.

This on-demand teaching session is relevant to medical professionals & students & participants who complete the session will receive a certificate.

Our next section (Subcortical Structures & Movement) begins next week!
