Description
This reference offers detailed and extensive treatment of all aspects of cranial-nerve dysfunction syndromes. It presents a review of anatomy, disease diagnosis, surgical management options and modern theories of treatment born of clinical and scientific research into disorders of the cranial nerves of the posterior fossa. Full and illustrated anatomical description is accompanied by an appraisal of all surgical approaches to dysfunction management.
