Color Atlas of Microneurosurgery—Microanatomy, Approaches, Techniques : Intracranial Tumors

A revised edition of the state-of-the-art atlas originally published in 1985. Much more space is devoted to a detailed presentation of all the major approaches to the regions of the cranium relevant from the neurosurgeon's point of view. All neurosurgical approaches have been updated, and many new ones have been added. Special attention is given to the microsurgical neuroanatomy of all the intracranial regions, which constitute the basis for carrying out these often technically challenging operations. The plethora of new approaches has resulted in the division of this edition into two volumes. This first volume is devoted to the surgical resection of intracranial tumors, the second volume to cerebrovascular and spinal pathology. In the belief that a complex, three-dimensional spatial task such as microsurgery can only be appreciated visually, the present edition has retained a generous number of schematic illustrations to enhance appreciation of the operative photographs.
