Symptomatic Epilepsy: A critical updating

The 6th Latin American Summer School in Epilepsy (LASSE) is an activity of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and the Latin American Academy of Epilepsy (ALADE) with the support of the Brazilian League of Epilepsy (LBE).

Starting in 2002, the “Summer Schools in Epilepsy” organized by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) have become a reference as a didactic experience. As teachers and students remain in close contact for almost two consecutive weeks, this type of School has facilitated the integration between researchers and students allowing a better understanding of new discoveries for the benefit of people with epilepsy. The sixth edition of the “Latin American Summer School in Epilepsy (LASSE)” held in Guarulhos between February 24 and March 3, 2012 addresses one of the most relevant topics in epileptology: symptomatic focal epilepsies.

Thanking the teachers and tutors who so generously leave their jobs and offer us their time, we welcome the students of LASSE-VI, the main reason for our work.
