Dr Keegan gave a talk about CLIPPERS at the National Institute of Health (USA) just over a week ago. From the events calendar:
"For his lecture at NIH, he will discuss Clippers Syndrome and offers the following objectives:
-Identify and treat a chronic inflammatory CNS disease
-Review differential diagnosis of brainstem predominant inflammatory disease
-Add a challenging acronym to neurological differential diagnosis"
-Identify and treat a chronic inflammatory CNS disease
-Review differential diagnosis of brainstem predominant inflammatory disease
-Add a challenging acronym to neurological differential diagnosis"
This all sounds very interesting. We definitely want to identify and treat CLIPPERS and I'm assuming the third point is to promote CLIPPERS as a possible diagnosis which should be considered more widely. Raising awareness of CLIPPERS within the neurology community can only be a good thing as presumably, the more cases are found, the more likely research will be done to find definitive causes and treatments.
