April 25th 2025: Epilepsy seminar in Department of Neurology

The seminar was arranged in honor of prof. Erik Taubøll who now retires from his clinical position in Department of Neurology. He will continue as professor emeritus in Institute of Clinical Medicine, UiO and still be member of the epilepsy group ERGO in the department.
Topics discussed in the seminar were Status epilepticus, epileptogenesis, seizure precipitating factors, and risk of epilepsy after status epilepticus or traumatic brain injury. International speakers were prof. Nicolas Gaspard from Brussels, Belgium and prof Christoph Beier, Odense, Denmark. Prof. Gaspard discussed the challenges in treatment when status gets complicated. He also talked about the new European Status Epilepticus registry in which Oslo university hospital and ERGO is one of the funding partners. The registry is now up and running and we have now included around 40 patients from our hospital. Prof Beier talked about the outcome after status.
In addition, several Norwegian colleagues were also speakers at the meeting. From the department this included Kjell Heuser, Morten Horn, Hild Flatmark Sødal and Line Bédos Ulvin. Monika Mochol as member of ERGO now working at Kalnes, Østfold, and Christian Samsonsen from St Olav Hospital, Trondheim also held excellent talks.
The seminar was followed by a dinner for colleagues in Department of Neurology members of ERGO, and collaborators.
