Abstract
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting was held in Toronto, Canada from 10 to 17 April, 2010. As usual, multiple sclerosis (MS) featured prominently with about 450 poster and platform presentations on various aspects. Highlights were presentations on the controversial theory of venous obstruction as a cause of MS and updates on promising oral treatments, particularly fingolimod, cladribine and teriflumomide.
