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. .

Neurocutaneous diseases are a wide group of conditions that affect the nervous system but appear as lesions of the skin. Some of the more common entities have variable forms of expression that can confuse the diagnosis; for the rare conditions it is difficult to find descriptions in the literature. Recent insights into their cellular, biochemical and molecular genetic bases have shown the essential need for a new nosology and updated genotype-phenotype correlations. The book provides an authoritative source of knowledge about these difficult problems and bridges the gap between clinical recognition and the new molecular medicine. The editors, distinguished clinicians and geneticists, assembled an internationally renowned group of collaborators, many of them the experts who first described a particular disorder or established its present accepted definition. They have written a practical, comprehensive guide to the recognition, investigation and management of more than 60 recognised phakomatoses.

This series has already become a classic. In general, one volume is published per year. The advances section presents fields of neurosurgery and related areas in which important recent progress has been made. The technical standards section features detailed descriptions of standard procedures to assist young neurosurgeons in their post-graduate training. The contributions are written by experienced clinicians and are reviewed by all members of the editorial board.
