Textbook of Focused Neurosurgery

This book is a comprehensive guide to neurosurgery, covering the complete field, from basic and clinical knowledge, to neurosurgical procedures.

Beginning with an introduction to neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, the following chapters provide detail on neurological phenomena including altered consciousness, neuro-ophthalmology, neurotology and neurourology. Two sections then discuss cortical malformation, leading onto paediatric neurosurgery.

The following chapters provide in depth discussion on essential neuroradiology, then neurosurgical techniques for a range of disorders and injuries, including tumours, seizures, head and spinal trauma, vascular malformations, and stroke.

This practice book is highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables.
