Reviews

The audience appears to be medical students, residents, fellows, and attending physicians in the fields of neurology, neuro-oncology, and neurosurgery. ... This book covers a topic that is not covered well in other neurosurgical atlases and books. It provides a great overview of brainstem tumors and detailed information in a very organized manner. The chapters present up-to-date information with often extensive reference lists. (Fady Charbel, Doody's Book Reviews, July 9, 2021)
