A single-volume resource for detailed coverage of the anatomy,
function, and pathology of the cranial nerves with CT and MRI
correlation
"Unique...provid es] clear, concise descriptions...the first of
its kind to offer a detailed look at the imaging findings of each
cranial nerve in both normal and pathological states.--Journal of
Neurosurgery"
"This book reaches its objective. It must be part of the library
of the neurological surgery student as a useful tool for
understanding basic anatomy and physiology, as well as the most
common pathologies and the basic neuroradiology of the cranial
nerves. We strongly recommend it.-- World Neurosurgery"
"This book is of interest to everyone who aims a solid
understanding of the cranial nerves. --Central European
Neurosurgery"
This beautifully illustrated book combines a detailed exposition
of the anatomy and function of the cranial nerves with practical
coverage of clinical concepts for the assessment and differential
diagnosis of cranial nerve dysfunction. An introductory chapter
provides a brief overview of cranial nerve anatomy and function,
skull base anatomy, classification of pathologies, and imaging
approaches. Each of the twelve chapters that follow is devoted to
in-depth coverage of a different cranial nerve. These chapters open
with detailed discussion of the various functions of each nerve and
normal anatomy. The authors then describe common lesions and
present a series of cases that are complemented by CT images and
MRIs to illustrate disease entities that result in cranial nerve
dysfunction.

This book is an indispensable reference for practicing
physicians and trainees in neurosurgery, neurology, neuroradiology,
radiology, and otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. It will also
serve as a valuable resource for students seeking to gain a solid
understanding of the anatomy, function, and pathology of the
cranial nerves.
