Lessons from My Patients

Saturday, February 14, 2026
17:00 - 18:30 | Kingwood Room

In this interactive session, experienced clinicians will present and discuss cases that illustrate how specific examination findings, elements of the clinical history, and contextual details, when properly recognized, can refine diagnostic reasoning and prevent common pitfalls in the evaluation of movement disorders. Faculty will also discuss how diagnostic conclusions may evolve in response to changing clinical presentations, overlooked findings, or broader contextual information, and will outline strategies for reassessing initial impressions and adapting therapeutic approaches.
