Description

Extensively revised and greatly expanded, the third edition of this highly--acclaimed text presents an up--to--date review of the basic neurosciences as they apply to the presentation, diagnosis, and management of a wide variety of patients encountered in current neurosurgical practice. Written primarily for the trainee and recently qualified neurosurgeon, Neurosurgery: The Scientific Basis of Clinical Practice 3e has undergone a radical reorganization and has been extensively increased both in size and scope. The inclusion of four new sections and 31 new chapters provides increased coverage of neurovascular disease, imaging, neurophysiology, CNS injury and neuromodulation. A plethora of full--color and black--and--white photographs, line drawings and tables illustrate this text. Additionally, the contributions of over 160 experts of international renown in their field, ensure that this text remains at the forefront of the science.
