The book presents Neurosurgical Pathology with a few succinct elements of surgery. To support the text, characteristic diagrams, tables, and a number of neuro-imaging examinations are used.
The authors, leveraging their extensive teaching, research, clinical, and surgical experience in university clinics and hospitals both in Greece and abroad, deliver a concise yet adequate work that aims to meet the needs of medical students as well as residents in Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Neuro-radiology.
The content begins with introductory concepts and the diagnostic approach to the patient, followed by cranio-cerebral and craniofacial injuries as well as injuries of the spine and spinal cord. This is followed by intracranial processes, diseases of the spine and spinal cord, vascular neurosurgery and pediatric neurosurgery, hydrocephalus, functional neurosurgery and pain neurosurgery, epilepsy surgery, psychosurgery, and peripheral nerve surgery, neuroanesthesia, and brain death.
