Endoscopic Anatomy for Neurosurgery

This video - version b: NTSC - complements the book of the same title. The most essential "journeys" through the brain are presented, showing the endoscopic anatomy of the ventricular systems, the subarachnoid space and the spinal canal on non-pathologic cadavers. It describes and demonstrates the topographic anatomy of the central nervous system from the endoscopic viewpoint. The basic approach is to present the 3-D aspect of each region, and thus aid the planning of neuroendoscopic procedures, as well as microsurgical operations. The three parts cover the endoscopic anatomy of the intracranial subarachnoid space, of the ventricle system, and of the spinal subarachnoid space. In each part the regions are demonstrated by endoscopic dissections. Each region is approached from different directions to demonstrate the 3-D aspect and also the changing optic image of each structure under the use of various preparation angles. The figures show in a step-by-step approach how a region can be evaluated anatomically.
