Intracranial Epidural Bleeding: History, Management, and Pathophysiology


Add your own review!

Overview

Intracranial Epidural Bleeding: History, Management, and Pathophysiology examines the history of the concepts underlying the understanding of the clinical features of epidural bleeding. The pathophysiology of epidural bleeding was examined in two PhD theses in the 1980s, with the results published in top international journals. However, these concepts have not been understood by the general neurosurgical community. This book provides a comprehensive overview of how epidural bleeding actually works. It can be used to help improve the interpretation of images during management, and to assess degrees of urgency. This book is written for neurosurgeons, neurologists, cerebrovascular physiologists, trauma surgeons, and medical historians.

Reviews

Intracranial Epidural Bleeding: History, Management and Pathophysiology by Dr. Jeremy C. Ganz provides readers with a comprehensive review of the pathophysiology of epidural bleeding from a historical perspective...Young trainees to experienced practitioners will find value in reviewing the fundamental principles of intracranial physiology and pathophysiology, particularly from a historical perspective. We applaud the author for his devotion to a fundamental neurosurgical problem as well as elegantly outlining the historical contributions of many who contributed to its understanding. The text is clear and concise and is an important contribution to the neurosurgical literature. ~ William J. Mack, WORLD NEUROSURGERY 123: 7, MARCH 2019
