  The ABTA Presents: Know Your Tumor: Medulloblastoma - August 25, 2020

While medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children, it can also occur in adulthood. Join this webinar to learn about the presentation, management and care for both pediatric and adult patients. This webinar will also highlight important differences in tumor biology, treatment approach and outcome between pediatric and adult patients.

This webinar was presented by: Dr. John Ruge, MD Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery, Rush Medical College Chairmain, Department of Neurosurgery, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital Dr. Marta Penas-Prado, MD Associate Research Physician, National Cancer Institute's Center for Cancer Research. 		 
     
   
     
     
  The Relationship Between Chiari Malformation, Syrinx (Syringomyelia) and Scoliosis

With almost 30 years of experience in Chiari and syringomyelia, Dr. John Ruge has seen practice change as we learn more about these disorders.

Dr. Ruge gives a great lecture on the changes in our knowledge of the connections between Chiari malformation, syrinx and scoliosis. Particularly in pediatric patients, Dr. Ruge talks about how these conditions can sometimes occur together!

This lecture was presented at the Chapter meeting on April 27th at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, IL. (2019)
