Course Descriptions questions from recent issues of Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology ® as a springboard for discussion of timely and important clinical topics in neuro-oncology and multiple sclerosis. This course has been approved by the ABPN to provide 2 Selfassessment CME credits. This program complements C162: Continuum ® Test Your Knowledge: A Multiple-choice Question Review I, but covers independent topics. Upon Completion: Participants should be able to increase and refresh their knowledge of neuro-oncology and multiple sclerosis through presentation of common and not-so-common clinical problems, as well as learn to work through difficult clinical presentations both logically and successfully.

General Neurology Upon Completion: Participants should be able to identify the different disorders; adequately assess consultations at the psychiatry, pediatric neurology, and epilepsy wards; be able to avoid the pitfalls associated with antibody testing; and identify the appropriate tumors associated with the different syndromes.

C183 Neuroimaging for the General Neurologist II: Spine and Peripheral Nerve
Topic: General Neurology Director: Joshua P. Klein, MD, PhD, FANA, FAAN, Boston, MA
C182 Autoimmune Neurology II Advanced:
Program Description: This program is designed to increase clinician comfort and competence in reviewing neuroimaging studies of the spine and peripheral nerves to provide a practical and systematic approach that will allow for recognition of inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic conditions.
Topic: General Neurology
This program complements C168: Neuroimaging for the General Neurologist I: Spine and Peripheral Nerve, but covers independent topics.

Autoimmune Encephalitis—At the Frontiers of Neuroscience
Director: Maarten Jan Titulaer, MD, PhD, Rotterdam, Netherlands Program Description: Recent years have shown many discoveries of new antibodies. These new antibodies have broadened the horizon of these diseases, bordering with psychiatry, pediatrics, intensive care medicine, and (chronic) epilepsy. Many physicians struggle to keep up with all the new developments. Faculty will cover the newest developments, discuss caveats at diagnosis, test results, and treatment decisions. This course will be more advanced than the Autoimmune Neurology I course, and expects some basic knowledge of antibodies and the related syndromes. Overlap is minimized, and physicians are encouraged to complete both courses. This program complements C167: Autoimmune Neurology I Basics and Beyond: Autoimmune Encephalitis and Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes of the CNS and PNS, but covers independent topics. 62 2017 AAN Annual Meeting Early Look
