Overview

Based on the principles of functional vascular anatomy and endovascular treatment described in the first three volumes of ""Surgical Neuroangiography"", Volumes 4 and 5 complete the series. This volume is geared to track the vascular abnormalities of the brain, while Vol 5 describes the vascular abnormalities of the spine and spinal cord. Both volumes identify the specifics of vascular lesions and set the interventional neuro-radiological techniques before a background of proper clinical analysis and expertise. Each volume emphasizes the strategy and management objectives from an endovascular perspective, taking into consideration a multidisciplinary approach where neurologists, neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists examine the clinical presentation, the diagnostic study and the therapeutic options in a joint decision-making process.
