Description

Topical Reviews in Neurosurgery, Volume 1 focuses on neurosurgery, a medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders that affect any portion of the nervous system.
This book discusses the advances in computed tomography, vascular surgery in neurological disorders, and carotid endarterectomy. The extracranial-intracranial anastomosis, etiology of chronic subdural hematoma, radical surgery in the treatment of craniopharyngiomas, and syringomyelia are also covered.
Other topics include the sensory neural deafness; aneurysmal hemorrhage; detection of carotid stenosis; bypass procedures; and completed stroke in the carotid territory. This publication likewise considers the middle cerebral aneurysms; cell kinetics of glioma; and pathophysiology of enlargement of chronic subdural hematomas.
This publication is a good source for neurosurgeons and medical students interested in neurosurgery.
