Book Description

• Clinically focused, question and answer format
• Based on real clinical cases
• Educational material is presented with each case
• Draws on basic sciences (i.e. anatomy, physiology) in explaining clinical problems
• Includes common variations on cases, postoperative complications, and medical problems in neurosurgery, in order to assist trainees in daily problem solving
• Includes core topics specified in the British Neurosurgical Training Programme
• Contains radiological and other key images
• Referenced to literature

Part of the Oxford Case Histories series, this volume includes 65 neurosurgical cases covering core topics specified in the UK Neurosurgical Training Curriculum. Cases are drawn from the following clinical areas: trauma, vascular neurosurgery, tumours, spinal neurosurgery, hydrocephalus and paediatric neurosurgery, functional neurosurgery, and medical problems in neurosurgery.

Revolving around actual patients and the relevant knowledge required in specific situations for decision making in clinical practice, this book will serve as an invaluable educational tool to help trainees, doctors, and pratising neurosurgeons manage the a wide variety of clinical scenarios encountered in neurosurgery.

Readership: Primary market - Neurosurgical trainees; practicing neurosurgeons; doctors in other medical disciplines dealing with neurosurgical patients (including, but not limited to emergency and general medicine, surgery and orthopaedics, neurology, paediatrics, and general practice); and allied professionals including nurses and therapists Secondary markets - Neuroscientists; pharmaceutical companies and medical equipment manufacturers
