Lecture: A Neurosurgeons perspective on acute stroke: the what, the who and the where to
Dr Byron De John
This lecture will cover acute stroke- what it is, how to recognise it, and why it is considered an important emergency ‘not to miss’ which has seen ground-breaking advancements in its management over the last few decades. There will be specific focus on the latest neuro-interventional aspects of treatment with emphasis on patient selection, referral pathways and current challenges.
Dr De John is a neurosurgical consultant working at Groote Schuur Hospital.
