Dr. Asim Choudri examines the pathology of the posterior fossa in pediatric patients. He reviews the diagnoses that can affect this region of the brain, details the pertinent imaging findings and reviews which aspects of these diseases are clinically significant.
After completing this course, you will be better able to:
- Apply appropriate search patterns to ensure high quality case assessment
- Identify key anatomical landmarks, variations, and abnormalities on imaging
- Accurately interpret advanced imaging cases
- Formulate definitive diagnoses and limited differentials
