Webinars
Our webinars are a unique opportunity for healthcare professionals and patients or caregivers to learn about rare vascular diseases from leading experts in the field. They provide an interactive forum for participants to ask questions and get answers. The webinars are recorded and can be consulted at a later date on our YouTube channel.
This video is the recorded replay of the VASCERN scientific webinar “Spectrum of Clinical Manifestations in CADASIL”, held on 23 June 2025. Presented by Prof. Hugues Chabriat, neurologist and expert in cerebral small vessel diseases at the Reference Centre for Rare Vascular Diseases of the Central Nervous System and the Retina (Paris, France), the session provides a clear and comprehensive overview of CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy).
The webinar explores the full clinical spectrum of CADASIL, including migraine with aura, cognitive slowing, mood disturbances, executive dysfunction, stroke, apathy, and progressive disability. It also reviews characteristic neuroimaging findings, the role of NOTCH3 mutations, and the historical discovery of the gene on chromosome 19q13.
This replay serves as an accessible learning resource for clinicians, researchers, patients, and anyone wishing to understand the complexity of this rare small vessel disease.
This video is the recorded replay of the VASCERN webinar “Headaches in Patients with Moyamoya Angiopathy”, held on 28 April 2025. Neurologists Prof. Anne Hege Aamodt and Prof. Dominique Hervé explore why people with Moyamoya Angiopathy (MMA) experience headaches and what these symptoms can mean for diagnosis, management, and clinical decision-making.
The session reviews current knowledge on the causes of MMA-related headaches, how to identify different headache types, and the link between headaches and cerebral blood flow. The speakers also discuss when surgical revascularisation may help, and when improvement is unlikely—offering practical insights into a complex and often misunderstood symptom.
This replay provides valuable information for clinicians, patients, and anyone wishing to better understand the neurological presentation of Moyamoya Angiopathy.
In the webinar, Prof. Dr. Markus Krämer, a leading expert in Moyamoya disease, explores the characteristics and prevalence of this rare cerebrovascular condition in Caucasian populations. Traditionally associated with East Asian populations, Moyamoya has increasingly been identified in other ethnic groups, including Caucasians. Prof. Dr. Krämer presents the latest research findings, covering epidemiology, histopathological differences, and insights from genetic studies. He also discusses the clinical and angiographic presentation in Caucasian patients, along with current diagnostic and treatment approaches.
In this webinar, Prof. Dr. Markus Krämer, a neurologist from Alfried Krupp Hospital Ruettenscheid, provided an in-depth look into Moyamoya angiopathy, a rare cerebrovascular disorder. Presented in German, the session covered both well-established and new approaches to understanding and managing the condition. Prof. Dr. Krämer also discussed the diagnosis, symptoms, and progression of Moyamoya angiopathy, offering valuable insights into its treatment and ongoing research.
