Pediatric Neuro-Ophthalmic Pitfalls: What Looks Scary, What Actually Is, and What We MissPresented by Carleigh N. Bruce, MD Eye Institute, Medical College of Wisconsin
We begin at 6 p.m. with networking, appetizers, and cash bar, followed by the meeting and dinner at 6:45 p.m. Members are encouraged to invite guests.
This program will focus on common pediatric neuro-ophthalmic scenarios that create diagnostic uncertainty in everyday ophthalmology practice. Using a case-based approach, the lecture will highlight common pitfalls, red flags, and patterns that help distinguish benign findings from conditions requiring further workup or urgent referral. Emphasis will be placed on practical decision-making, including when observation is appropriate and when imaging or specialty referral is warranted. The goal is to increase confidence in recognizing concerning presentations while avoiding unnecessary testing.
