Description of  Vasculature of the Brain and Cranial Base, 2nd Edition

This book is perhaps most relevant to interventional neuroradiologists, interventional neurologists, or endovascular neurosurgeons looking for a quick and easy read, and the organization of each chapter allows for just that, as chapters do have a heavy emphasis on illustrations, cadaveric dissections, in vivo dissections, and angiograms. AJNR The book is easy to read and digest and can be read from start to finish without difficulty. However, it may be most useful when read a chapter or two at a time to supplement one's knowledge prior to a vascular rotation or a case. World Neurosurgery Four master neurosurgeons bring a wealth of collective neurosurgical and neuroendovascular experience to this remarkable reference book, which melds a detailed anatomical atlas with clinical applications. The authors provide case reviews and pearls that demonstrate how anatomy impacts clinical practice decisions for aneurysm, stroke, and skull-base disease. Highlights: Comprehensive variations of the vasculature at the Circle of Willis, cortical branches, and secondary arteries Range and average measurements of the most critical vessels Hundreds of color photographs elucidate precise anatomical cadaver dissections Exquisite illustrations by Paul H. Dressel This richly illustrated, comprehensive anatomical resource is a must have for neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and neurologists. Whether you are a practicing clinician or resident, reading this book will greatly expand your "vision" and sharpen your perception.
