The book provides an update on several pathological conditions of the CNS that require neurosurgical treatment. The different chapters, written by the most eminent international scientists and clinicians in the field of neuroscience, offer a critical assessment of the relevant nosographic entities that are the subject of current scientific debate. The book opens with an analysis of the new WHO classification of brain tumors then describing intracranial tumors of the first year of life, as well as of the technical aspects of neurooncological surgery. The various chapters take into consideration spinal problems, the management of intracranial arachnoid cysts (still a very controversial subject), hydrocephalus, and the rational concepts at the basis of the midface advancement in crani0synostosis. An interesting chapter presents the latest advances in clinical prediction in neurosurgery. As with the previous volume in the series, this book represents an important contribution to the advancement of neurosurgical specialties. .

The book offers the update on several basic and clinical problems in neurosurgery compiled by internationally recognized experts. The main topics covered are cerebral tumors, epilepsy and vascular malformations, congenital and acquired spine anomalies. The first chapter is devoted to the genetic of the Moya-Moya disease, a cerebral vascular disease quite common in Asia that is not yet sufficiently known. The second chapter is devoted to the current application of VR/AR (virtual reality/augmented reality) to pediatric neurosurgery. The next four chapters discuss the management of spine diseases, respectively the tethered cord syndrome , the severe forms of spondylolisthesis, the role of perioperative checklists, and the long-term outcomes of myelomeningocele. Two chapters deal with the surgical aspects of the management of intraventricular tumors. Cerebral tumors, namely malignant gliomas and jugular foramen tumors are the subject of the remaining chapters. Approaching the issue of technical standards in the everyday clinical practice of neurosurgery, this book is of great interest for neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, vascular and plastic surgeons. .

The evolution of technology has made new surgical techniques available for the treatment of diseases associated with the spina bifida malformation, and this is especially true in hydrocephalus and fetal surgery. The progress in this last field and in prenatal diagnosis have raised the significant problem of the effectiveness and usefulness of in utero surgical treatment of the malformation, that are extensively discussed in this volume. Also the clinical situations that can be seen in adolescents or young adults with spina bifida, including sexuality and pregnancy, are highlighted. Aim of this book is to promote a multidisciplinary approach to spina bifida, providing the three main specialists’ categories involved - neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, and urologists - with an updated overview of surgical approaches and with a concise reference that explains the main clinical problems to be faced in everyday clinical practice.
