Overview
Part of the Neurosurgery by Example series, this volume on functional neurosurgery presents exemplary cases in which renowned authors guide readers through the assessment and planning, decision making, surgical procedure, after care, and complication management of common and uncommon disorders. The cases explore the spectrum of clinical diversity and complexity within functional neurosurgery, including essential tremor, thalamotomy, parkinson's disease, epilepsy, dystonia, and more. Each chapter also contains 'pivot points' that illuminate changes required to manage patients in alternate or atypical situations, and pearls for accurate diagnosis, successful treatment, and effective complication management. Containing a focused review of medical evidence and expected outcomes, Functional Neurosurgery is appropriate for neurosurgeons who wish to learn more about a subspecialty, and those preparing for the American Board of Neurological Surgery oral examination.

Reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed this text. This is a text I will likely return to myself, and I recommend it to any resident or fellow involved in functional and epilepsy surgery; however, young attendings will also benefit from these concise reviews, and more seasoned attendings might also appreciate the discussion of alternative treatment options. Overall, I highly recommend this text to residents, fellows, and young attendings alike. Similarly, I also recommend looking into other books from the series Neurosurgery by Example. * James G.
