Description
Featuring contributions from experts worldwide, this reference examines approaches to frequently encountered neurosurgical problems. The book is organized for easy reference into 23 major clinical areas, including neuroanaesthesia, head injury, brain tumours, cerebrovascular occlusive disease, neural tube defects, vascular malformations of the spinal cord, focal infections and mmovement disorders. Dicussions proceed in a sequence paralleling the clinician's approach in developing the differential diagnosis, establishing the correct diagnosis, and initiating treatment. Thus, the incidence, aetiology, pathophysiology, appropriate diagnostic procedures and medical and surgical treatment options and their expected results are methodically presented for each neurosurgical problem. More than 250 illustrations - including CT scans, MR images, radiographs, angiograms, ultrasound scans, intraoperative photographs, and drawings - accompany the text.
