Microsurgery of Intracranial Tumors, v. 1 - Supratentorial Tumors (Hardcover)

Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging now allows for a better analysis of the relationship between intracranial tumours and the surrounding brain tissue. Even very small deep-seated tumouors can be identified during the operation by intraopreative ultrasound. These technological advances have had a great influence on indications, planning strategies and microsurgical techniques. The first of two volumes, the author shows the functional anatomy of the brain with the eye and the mind of a microsurgeon, and demonstrates well-known topographical relationships under the aspect of a gentle operative approach. This book is an examination of the supratentorial tumours.
