Event Information

Call for Clinical Cases: WNS 2026 Grand Rounds

Theme: Man, Machine & Intelligence

The 5th World Neurosciences Summit (WNS 2026) invites Neurology residents and fellows to participate in a premier learning experience. In alignment with this year’s theme, we are seeking challenging clinical cases that bridge the gap between traditional bedside neurology and the frontier of AI and data-driven diagnostics.

Selected cases will be presented and discussed under the mentorship of Dr. M. Madhusudanan, forming one of the highlights of the scientific program in New Delhi (20–23 August 2026).

Objectives

  • To sharpen clinical reasoning and analytical thinking.
  • To explore the integration of technology and intelligence in neurological practice.
  • To foster interdisciplinary learning between human expertise and machine assistance.

Recognition & Awards

  • Prizes: Awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place presentations.
  • Selected presenters receive complimentary registration for WNS 2026.

Eligibility & Submission Rules

  • Eligibility: Open to current DM/DNB (Neurology/Paediatric Neurology) residents and subspecialty Fellows.
  • Deadline: 15 June 2026.

Presentation Structure

We encourage a "stepwise revelation" format to engage the audience’s reasoning:

  1. Title Slide: Engaging title (do not reveal the diagnosis), presenter name, and institution
  2. Clinical History: Concise and relevant.
  3. Differential Diagnosis (I): Formulated based on history alone.
  4. Clinical Examination: Key findings and localized signs.
  5. Differential Diagnosis (II): Refined list post-examination.
  6. Case Summary: A brief synthesis.
  7. Ancillary Testing: Radiology, pathology, electrophysiology, and AI-assisted diagnostics (if applicable).
  8. Final Diagnosis: The definitive conclusion.
  9. Discussion & Review

Additional Guidelines

  • Visuals: Tables, figures, and AI insights should be clearly labeled.
  • Media: Relevant clinical videos may be included (please attach as separate files if they exceed slide limits).
  • Ethics: Patient anonymity and informed consent are mandatory.

Join us in New Delhi to explore where human expertise meets machine intelligence.
