This unique and richly illustrated volume presents the state of the
art in the comprehensive management of major neurosurgical diseases
in the elderly (aged 65 and over). It explores all of the common
neurosurgical pathologies affecting elderly patients, and
emphasizes the paramount importance of tailored management
strategies for quality of life. It highlights updated techniques
for anaesthesia and critical care, as well as minimally invasive
neurosurgical methods intended for this specific group of patients.
Radiosurgery treatment is also discussed, in particular for brain
tumours. In western societies, the proportion of elderly citizens
has nearly reached 20%, and shows no signs of slowing down. The
management of neurosurgical conditions in this particular
population requires specific multidisciplinary strategies. To
address this situation, a team of internationally respected
contributors accurately describe degenerative and traumatic spinal
diseases, which account for the majority of admissions among the
elderly, as well as brain tumours and intracranial haemorrhages,
aspects that are raising new ethical issues. The book mainly
addresses the needs of neurosurgeons and geriatric neurologists,
but also neuro-oncologists and neuro-anaesthesists working with
elderly patients, as well as students in these disciplines.
