Sommario/riassunto

This book is the first review book to use the multiple-choice question format in pediatric neurosurgery. More than 500 MCQs are provided in a convenient format that is suitable for self-study. The mission of the book is to help readers understand the content and maintain the



knowledge, rather than merely finding answers for complicated questions. The strategy and the format of the questions provide a step-by-step, thorough explanation of each disease from the definition, associated anatomy, pathology, clinical features, radiology to surgical decision-making, and surgical tricks, providing a comprehensive and concise overview. Answers and definitions appear immediately below the questions to facilitate information retention. It is an important asset for residents across neurosurgical disciplines as it includes much of the pediatric neurosurgery knowledge that neurosurgical residents need to prepare for their certification tests. It is also useful for those seeking ways to solidify their knowledge or maintain their current certification. This book is an adjunct to the existing texts and does not intend to be the primary source of information; it rather aims to help readers identify their relevant strengths and weaknesses in the area. .
