Overview

The advent of microneurosurgery has expanded our understanding of neurosurgical anatomy and enabled complex microsurgical procedures to be performed with greater safety and precision. More recently, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has provided a means to visualize major white matter tracts that are not discernible during direct surgical inspection. This comprehensive atlas enhances knowledge of the brain’s three-dimensional microanatomy, which is critical for navigating surgical complexities while preserving important non-visible structures. The richly illustrated chapters feature detailed dissections of white matter tracts using Klingler’s technique, presenting the intrinsic architecture of the brain, common microsurgical approaches, and case-based examples. Atlas of Intrinsic Brain Architecture for Microsurgery is an essential resource to help medical students, neurologists, neurosurgery residents, and neurosurgeons correlate the anatomy of cerebral white matter fibers with related pathologies and microsurgical approaches.
