Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery: Volume 46 (EPUB)

By Concezio Di Rocco

This book presents an overview of various CNS pathological conditions requiring neurosurgical treatment. Chapters from renowned international scientists cover the relevant nosographic entities currently under scientific debate.

The first chapter examines the new WHO classification for brain tumours. Two follow-up chapters cover technical aspects of neuro-oncological surgery such as suprasellar approach to infratentorial tumours and how to prevent post-operative speech impairment in pediatric patients. The remaining surgical chapters cover hypothalamic tumours and intracranial schwannomas. A chapter devoted to the latest advances in clinical prediction in neurosurgery also makes an appearance.

Two chapters are dedicated to spinal problems, one on craniovertebral and spinal instability and another on Chiari malformations. A specific chapter addresses the controversial management of intracranial arachnoid cysts, whilst another covers subdural hematomas in both adults and children.

The book also includes two chapters on hydrocephalus treatment, examining post-inflammatory or post-infectious complications leading to specific and difficult-to-treat abnormalities in the CSF circulation. The final chapter discusses midface advancement in craniosynostosis, and like the previous volume in the series, this book provides a significant contribution to the development of neurosurgical specialties.
