SUMMER DINNER MEETING
Wednesday July 25,
2007
Courtyard by Marriott Fairfield
1350 Holiday Lane, Fairfield, CA
Claudia Greco, MD, Associate Clinical Professor of Pathology, UC Davis
Medical Center
“The Neurodiagnostic Skin Biopsy: Will It Replace the Sural Nerve Biopsy?”
Bio:
Dr. Greco received her medical degree at Penn State University School of
Medicine. She did her Residency and Fellowship in anatomic &
neuropathology at UC San Diego. Dr. Greco was a faculty member at UCSF and
Stanford, as well as in private practice at Pacific Presbyterian and
Children’s Hospital (now Sutter) in San Francisco. Currently, Dr. Greco is
the associate clinical professor of pathology at UC Davis Medical Center
and she is involved in diagnostic and teaching activities, with research
interest in Fragile X-related Tremor Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS).
Talk
Description: The cutaneous nerve biopsy is
becoming more available for use by neurologists in clinical practice. It
is less invasive, less expensive, and can easily be performed in the
office setting. Serial skin biopsies can be used to follow progression of
disease, or to monitor therapy. The major experience to date with
neurodiagnostic skin biopsy has been with small fiber neuropathies;
however its utility is expanding.
Educational
Objectives:
- Familiarize the
audience with the neurodiagnostic skin biopsy as a diagnostic procedure
for the clinical neurologist.
- Discuss the
clinical indications for performing this procedure.
- Discuss the
biopsy procedure, tissue processing, pathological interpretation.
