Almost a hundred years passed from the time of the first description of an intracranial aneurysm by Morgagni in 1761 to the year 1859, when Sir William Withey Gull arrived at the conclusion that haemorrhage in the subarachnoid space is caused by ruptured aneurysms.
During recent years, major advances in surgical techniques, diagnostic methods, anesthesia and adjunctive treatment in the care of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage have been achieved.
Preface Drawings and scripts were selected from those tion of the operative routes and their alternatives which were produced by the author in the last for well-defined anatomical target areas alone.
After a very brief introduction to neurophysiology of pain and the influence of weather on pain the selection of an optimal current by the author is presented.
During the last decade, the effects of anaesthetics on cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen and intracranial pressure have been studied experimentally and clinically.
The intervertebral disc is a complex structure that separates opposing vertebrae, permits a wide range of motion, and accommodates high biomechanical forces.
Since its introduction about sixty years ago, stereotactic and functional neurosurgery has evolved into a fascinating and interdisciplinary endeavor that combines modern neurosurgery, neurobiology, and neuroimaging with innovative diagnostic and treatment strategies.
The current concept of dystonic movement connects the abnormal function of somatosensory pathways and somatosensory analyzers with the dystonic performance of motor action, which is based on the abnormality of sensorimotor integration.
Contemporary spinal surgeons, whether orthopedic or neurosurgeons, are increasingly recognizing minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) as a desirable option to manage advanced degenerative diseases.
The contributions in this volume, presented at the 5th International Hydrocephalus Workshop in May 2010 in Crete, Greece, give the present state-of-the-art in timely diagnosis and treatment of hydrocephalus.
More than 40 articles provide an extensive coverage of clinical and basic science advances over the last three years of research on subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced brain injuries.

Today, over 500,000 patients have been treated world wide in 250 Gamma Knife Centres in 37 countries each one treating between 150 and 700 patients a year.
Die Navigation ist bei den komplexen Schädelbasisstrukturen zur Orientierung äußerst hilfreich und insbesondere bei knöchernen Strukturen sehr präzise.
Agreed standards and guidelines are the heart and soul of improving the differing training systems and to harmonize neurosurgical training in the European countries.
As an addition to the European postgraduate training system for young neurosurgeons, we began to publish in 1974 this series of Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery which was later sponsored by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies.
The contributions in this book were presented at the fifth European-Japanese Joint Conference for Stroke Surgery, held in July 2010 in Duesseldorf, Germany.
The volume includes 75 papers which were presented at the Third International Conference on Intracerebral Hemorrhage, held in Rancho Mirage, California, in March 2010.
The goal of this book is to make a link between fundamental research in the field of cognitive neurosciences, which now benefits from a better knowledge of the neural foundations of cerebral processing, and its clinical application, especially in neurosurgery - itself able to provide new insights into brain organization.
Das vorliegende Werk liefert das Basiswissen für die Versorgung des internistischen Intensivpatienten – systematisch dargestellt, verständlich erklärt und mit vielen konkreten Tipps.
Das Buch bietet dem Behandler einen Überblick über die gängigen klinisch relevanten Konzepte sowie diagnostischen und therapeutischen Maßnahmen in der Epileptologie.
Das neurochirurgische Vorgehen bei Schädel-Hirn-Traumata wird detailliert und reich illustriert beschrieben: von der präklinischen und klinischen Erstversorgung über die indikationsspezifische Bildgebung bis zur Nachsorge und den Grundzügen der neurologischen Rehabilitation.
Dieser Taschenatlas stellt erstmals die topographische Anatomie aller peripheren Nerven im Ultraschall mit Fokussierung auf spezielle Landmarken dar: mit den Punkten der optimalen Visibilität (POV).
