Overview

The aim of this volume is to provide an illustrated overview of basic knowledge relevant to neurosurgery for students specializing in neurosurgery, operating room personnel, and neurologists seeking to inform themselves about surgical principles and applications. The major aspects of neurosurgery are presented in a clear, easy-to-follow outline form. Summaries are included of: neuroanatomy; neurologic syndromes, functional diseases, and traumas treatable through neurosurgery; physiologic and pathologic events occurring during neurosurgery. The principles of neurologic examination and diagnosis as well as supplementary diagnostic modalities are discussed from a neurosurgical perspective. The book can thus be used as an aid for quick bedside diagnosis and patient management and as a handy reference companion.
