Neurosurgery

Die spontanen intrazerebralen Hämatome sind die zweithäufigste zerebro-vaskuläre Erkrankung nach den ischämischen Hirninfarkten und gehören daher seit langem in Neurologie, Neurochirurgie und Neuropathologie zu den traditionellen Forschungsgebieten.

The aim of the book is to describe the current approach to meningiomas on the basis of experience gained in the fields of histopathology, biology, radiology and surgery.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a new and still rapidly developing imaging technique which requires a new approach to image interpreta- tion.

The region of the skull base was long considered a surgical barrier because of its complex anatomy.

Based on the principles of functional vascular anatomy and endovascular treatment described in the first three volumes of Surgical Neuroangiography, Volumes 4 and 5 complete the series that takes a revolutionary approach in endovascular neurosurgery.

In Neuroorthopädie Band 4 werden die Erkrankungen des zervikookzipitalen Übergangs mit Beteiligung des Nervensystems in Diagnostik und Therapie, zumal deren operative Behandlung, diskutiert.

Increasing specialisation in pathology reflects the progressive changes in medical practise.

Professor Philip Bromage From the earliest stirrings of modern surgical anesthesia, novice surgeons struggling to learn from the living what there was a strong intuitive feeling that anesthesia of part they were denied an opportunity to learn from the dead_ of the body would be better for the patient than complete But that is largely nostalgia for a past era_ Today, the visual anesthesia of the whole organism.

The cerebello-pontine angle has always posed a challenge to the neurosurgeon, the otoneurosurgeon, and the neuroradiologist.

Embolization has been performed in many European countries and in North America for over 20 years and is now beginning to gain accep- tance in other countries.

A quarter of a century has elapsed since Nils Lundberg published his thesis "e;Continuous Recording and Control of Ventricular Fluid Pressure In Neurosurgical Practice"e;.

2nd international symposium

This 13th volume of Advances in Neurosurgery presents thos.

At the present time several techniques are available for studying quantitatively global and regional blood flow and metabolism of the human brain.

This volume is the latest in the series Exercises in Radio- logical Diagnosis, launched by the Strasbourg School of Radio- logy.

This volume contains papers presented at the Fifth International Symposium on Intra- cranial Pressure held on May 30-June 3,1982, in Tokyo, Japan.

As a result of its structure, the skull base forms a borderline between different medi- cal and surgical specialties.

Erkrankungen der Wirbelsäule mit Beteiligung des Nervensystems konfrontieren uns mit einer Fülle von Symptomen, deren Deutung und Zuordnung aus der Sicht eines Fachgebietes bisweilen unvollkommen, unbefriedigend oder kaum möglich ist.

This volume on the clinical anatomy of the neurocranium, the orbit and the craniocervical junction is intended to provide a precise and detailed account for the use of neurosurgeons, otorhinolaryngologists, neuroradiologists and roentgenologists.

In this age when we are witnessing a veritable explosion in new modalities in diagnos- tic imaging we continue to have a great need for detailed studies of the vascularity of the brain in patients who have all types of cerebral vascular disease.

Sensorimotor systems are not rigidly wired predetermined networks but rather highly plastic structures that learn and modify their entire performance in response to changes in external or internal conditions.

No special field of surgery dealing with the cranial nerves exists today.

This book contains the papers delivered at the Fourth International Symposium on Intracranial Pressure, held at Williamsburg, Virginia, USA, June 10-14, 1979.

It is amazing to discover how little importance has been attached to narrow lumbar canal syndromes up to now.

The rapid development of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the management of spinal angiomas has opened up new possibilities and provided better chances for the patients concerned.

More than 40 years ago British and German neurosurgeons met in Berlin and Breslau to exchange their experiences, to strengthen their friendly bonds, and to enjoy the attractions of both cities and their surroundings.

A workshop on Dynamic Aspects of Cerebral Edema was organized to pro- vide an opport~nitY,for interdisciplinary and detailed consideration of this subject, so crucial in neurology and neurosurgery.

Although a number of studies have addressed epilepsy from a va- riety of qualitative and quantitative factors, relatively little systematic or multidisciplinary work has been reported to date.
