Description

Rapid advances in the field of CNS disorders have opened a new route of diagnostic and therapy in this field.

Knowledge of current concepts associated with vascular disorders of CNS around the world is a crucial issue for providing appropriate evaluation, referral and treatment of patients with vascular diseases of CNS.

The main goal of this book is to provide broad based current knowledge of diverse fields of vascular disorders of CNS on a high level. The book contains a compact text from several neurosurgical sources consisting of many journals and books, which have been published currently in the neurosurgical field.

The topics have been arranged in Top Down starting from cerebral vascular disorders to the spine to provide the readers with sound knowledge base in the fundamentals of vascular anatomy, history, vascular imaging, clinical assessment and also operative and non-operative therapy of vascular disorders of CNS.

The text has been made spare and concise therefore it could be read quickly in the clinic during the patient rounds, daily work and also in the operating room.

We have created about 44 tables by ourselves in the hope to keep the readers attention to the essential points and to avoid unnecessary details.

In addition we have integrated about 71 suitable original photographs into the book. The most important clinical and radiological features were usually labeled and highlighted in color.

The intended audience will be wide ranging including from medical student, residents, fellows, of course neurosurgeons and neuroradiology.

The book may also be of interest to physicians and nurses working at the ICU as well as patients with vascular diseases of CNS.
