Pediatric Intracranial Emergencies (2025)
Course Overview

This high-yield session will focus on distinguishing imaging features, critical imaging findings, and management of common emergent neurological conditions in children, to include pediatric stroke and its mimics, fetal and neonatal neurological emergencies, non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, and acute infectious and inflammatory processes. Engaging speakers with image-rich talks and countless clinical pearls make this a session you most certainly do NOT want to miss.

This course contains interactive questions throughout the video. These questions are optional and do not require a passing score to earn CME credit. To earn CME credit, participants must watch the full length of the recording and complete the course evaluation.
