2nd Posterior Fossa Society meeting satellite to the ISPNO2016

The 2nd meeting of the Posterior Fossa Society will take place at the Convention Centre Liverpool on Sunday, June 12th 2016.

The Posterior Fossa Society is an international group of researchers and health care professionals (doctors, nurses, psychologists, speech pathologists, linguists, neuroscientists etc.) who are dedicated to research into the causes, features, treatment and prevention of the postoperative Cerebellar Mutism Syndrome (CMS) and Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome (CCAS) in children and adults. It reaches its goals by systematically gathering and exchanging information on the CMS and CCAS, both online and during international meetings and conferences.
