ABOUT THE EVENT

IFVM2024 is the 2nd International meeting dedicated to Visceral Myopathy (VSCM), a myogenic form of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, a rare severe genetic disease showing variable neonatal dysfunction in bladder and gut motility.

VSCM is largely unknown due to difficulties in diagnosis, and is still lacking pharmacological effective treatments.

An international and multidisciplinary taskforce between clinicians, researchers and Patient Advocacy Organizations representatives is necessary to address major VSCM issues: IFVM2024 represents a second opportunity (after EFVM2022 ) to involve concentrate the scientific community efforts on the VSCM unmet needs, focusing on state of the art, emerging approaches and futuristic visions related to this pathology.
