Sommario/riassunto

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. .
