Part of the Neurosurgery by Example series, this volume on cerebrovascular neurosurgery presents exemplary cases in which renowned authors guide readers through the assessment and planning, decision making, surgical procedure, after care, and complication management of common and uncommon disorders. The cases explore the spectrum of clinical diversity and complexity within cerebrovascular neurosurgery, including aneurysms, ischemic/occlusive disease, arteriovenous malformation, dural arteriovenous fistula, and more. Each chapter also contains 'pivot points' that illuminate changes required to manage patients in alternate or atypical situations, and pearls for accurate diagnosis, successful treatment, and effective complication management. Containing a focused review of medical evidence and expected outcomes, Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery is appropriate for neurosurgeons who wish to learn more about a subspecialty, and those preparing for the American Board of Neurological Surgery oral examination.

Reviews for Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery

Overall, Neurosurgery by Example: Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery is a succinctly written, well-illustrated, all-encompassing, welcomed addition to the educational literature in neurovascular surgery. It will undoubtedly be of immense value to those who learn from it and will serve as a cornerstone in any neurovascular surgeon's library. * Brian M. Howard, Neurosurgery *
