This book is written for the postgraduate who is starting specialized training in neurological surgery. It covers all aspects of surgery of the central nervous system with the exception of operative details. This thoroughly revised edition covers all the major developments including: the non-invasive techniques of imaging the brain and spinal column that enhance the definition of normal and abnormal craniospinal structures; the advances in microelectronics and computing that have enhanced and extended the use of clinical neurophysiology studies in the operating theatre and intensive care unit; the developments in the care of the severely head-injured patient; glucocorticoid therapy that has transformed the management of patients with brain tumours and increased the safety of operative surgery; the significant increases in neuroanaesthesia and neuropathology; the developments in molecular biology which have resulted in major reclassifications of cerebrovascular disease and epilepsy; the neurosurgical developments in the management of intractable pain, epilepsy and movement disorders; the microsurgical techniques widely used in the treatment of craniospinal lesions.
