The aim of the Pathology of the Nervous System course is studying and understanding etiology, pathogenesis, morphology and functional changes of diseases of the nervous system. Seminars aim at extending knowledge and discussing the pathology of the nervous system.

The aim of the seminars is to obtain and consolidate knowledge and discuss selected topics associated with sense organs pathology:

primary and secondary neoplasms, brain edema, herniation, trauma, hydrocephalus, vascular diseases, stroke, hematomas, meningitis and encephalitis.
