Agreed standards and guidelines are the heart and soul of improving
the differing training systems and to harmonize neurosurgical
training in the European countries. Such standards and guidelines
have been laid down in the European Training Charter of the
European Union of Medical Specialists and recently novellated. This
book, written by experienced neurosurgeons, offers all those
concerned with neurosurgical training - trainers and trainees -
practical advice to implement the above mentioned standards and
recommendations. It has been written as a manual: "How to do it."
It describes the tasks of a chairman (programme director), the
tasks of the teaching staff, the organisation of a training
curriculum, a rotation plan or a morbidity and mortality
conference, the periodic progress evaluation, the course of an
external audit and many more important topics. It contains a lot of
practical tips, check lists and useful examples. Well educated
young colleagues offer "safe neurosurgery" to our patients.

Brain edema is a simple phenomenon - an abnormal increase of brain
tissue volume by the increase of brain tissue water content.
However the etiology is not simple and relating to a wide variety
of neurological disorders including ischemia, trauma, tumor,
hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. It is still a major cause of death in
the neurological/neurosurgical ward. This volume is an up-to-date
report on progress in brain edema research, diagnosis and
treatment, including papers presented at the 12th International
Symposium on Brain Edema and Brain Tissue Injury in 2002. Major
topics include molecular biology and blood-brain barrier disorders,
ischemic and traumatic brain edema, imaging and diagnosis of brain
edema, treatment and radiation effect. Various papers in the
rapidly growing fields of neuroimaging and molecular medicine are
also included.
As an addition to the European postgraduate training system for
young neurosurgeons we began to publish in 1974 this series of
Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery which was later
sponsored by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies.
This series was first discussed in 1972 at a combined meeting of
the Italian and German Neurosurgical Societies in Taormina, the
founding fathers of the series being Jean Brihaye, Bernard
Pertuiset, Fritz Loew and Hugo Krayenbiihl. Thus were established
the principles of European co operation which have been born from
the European spirit, flourished in the European Association, and
have throughout been associated with this series. The fact that the
English language is well on the way to becoming the international
medium at European scientific conferences is a great asset in terms
of mutual understanding. Therefore we have decided to publish all
contributions in English, regardless of the native language of the
authors. All contributions are submitted to the entire editorial
board before publi cation of any volume. Our series is not intended
to compete with the publications of original scientific papers in
other neurosurgical journals. Our intention is, rather, to present
fields of neurosurgery and related areas in which important recent
advances have been made. The contributions are written by
specialists in the given fields and constitute the first part of
each volume.

This volume is a compilation of papers presented at the Tenth
International Symposium on Brain Edema held on October 20-23, 1996,
in San Diego, California. This follows the sequence of meetings
that was initiated 31 years ago in the First International
Symposium held in Vienna. Subsequent symposiums were held in Mainz,
Montreal, Berlin, Groningen, Tokyo, Baltimore, Bern, and Tokyo CY
okohama). A considerable number of papers was chosen from over 100
papers that were received. The organizers wish to thank the
Advisory Committee for the excellent work done in selection of the
papers. We also wish to thank all the persons who contributed to
the success of the Tenth International Symposium, especially the
staff who worked behind the scenes. These papers were reviewed,
edited, approved or disapproved by the Editorial Board. Those
manuscripts that were felt not pertinent to this publication were
not accepted by the Editorial Board. Therefore, the excellent
quality of those that are in the book are a reflection of the
authors' dedication and work and that of those of the Editorial
Board in their review process. For the reader's convenience, the
papers are structured according to the various disease processes
which are associated with the primary topic: hypertension,
hydrocephalus, infection, ischemia, tumor, etc. We do hope that the
reader will enjoy the articles and that they will provide an
impetus and insight for future work.

This volume contains the papers presented at the 24th Annual
Meeting of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Neurochirurgie, held in
Mainz, Western Germany, on April 30 - May 3, 1973. Deliberate
choice was made of two crucial still hotly debated subjects which,
for ages, have meant a source of constant worry, and nights without
sleep to every neurosurgeon. Just as long as our special field
exists, there have been the problems of how to control brain edema
and .of how to reduce lethality and the secondary lesions in
surgery of cerebello-pontine angle tumors. Concerning the first
subject, new pathological, pathophysiological and chemical aspects,
the mechanisms of brain edema formation and resolution are
presented in the hope for better understanding. Furthermore, the
relationship between brain edema, intracranial pressure, cerebral
blood flow and metabolism are discussed. Finally, the therapeutical
consequences as well as the results of experimental and clinical
work are presented, and a comparison of effects between different
methods (hypertonic solutions, diuretics, steroids, controlled
hyperventilation, hyperbaric oxygen) is given. Concerning the
second main subject, any important contributions to the early
diagnosis of cerebello-pontine angle tumors have been included.
Nevertheless, it is of utmost interest for the neurosurgeon to know
which approach he is to prefer for the different stages of tumor
size and to be familiar with the trans labyrinthine approach or the
posterior craniotomy, as well as with the importance of the use of
the microscope in neurosurgery, the preservation of the facial
nerve and, in certain cases, its repair."

Anasthesie in der Neurochirurgie ist ein Bereich unseres
Fachgebietes, der gelegentlich als Stiefkind behandelt wird. Ein
solcher Eindruck entsteht, wenn man nach deutschsprachi- gen
Monographien, einschlagigen KongreB- oder Zeitschrifienbeitragen
sucht. Jeder Anasthesist muB aber heute in der Lage sein, im Rahmen
seiner klinisch-praktischen Tatigkeit zumindest die auBer- und
innerklinische Erstversorgung Schadel-Hirn-traumati- sierter
Patienten zu tibernehmen. Das Fehlen einer deutschsprachigen
Monographie als Weiter- und Fortbildungsmoglichkeit war fUr die
Veranstalter des Workshops, auf das dieser Band zuriickgeht, AnlaB
genug, den Versuch zu unternehmen, eine tiberschaubare Monographie
zu erarbeiten, die den moder- nen Aspekten anasthesiologischer
Verfahren bei neurochirurgischen Eingriffen Rechnung tragt.
Zutreffend haben CAMPKIN und TuRNER (1) in der Einleitung ihres
Buches konstatiert, daB friiher Asphyxie und Anasthesie zu
schwersten Schaden des Patienten gefUhrt haben und daB deshalb
neurochirurgische Eingriffe in jenen Zeiten vorwiegend in
Lokalanasthesie durchgefUhrt wurden. Wahrend der letzten zwei
Jahrzehnte sind jedoch wesentliche Kenntnisse tiber Physiologie und
Pathophysiologie, tiber den EinfluB der Pharmaka auf
Hirndurchblutung und intrakra- nie11en Druck erarbeitet worden; so
kann heute die Anasthesie in der Neurochirurgie als si- cher und
komplikationsarm gelten. Die Indikationen fUr neurochirurgische
Eingriffe wer- den durch die Probleme der Anasthesie nicht mehr
eingeschrankt.
Bewusstsein lasst sich nicht einfach auf der Basis von
Transducereigenschaften peripherer Rezeptoren, etwa der Retina,
sowie der Transformation, Kodierung und Weiterleitung der hier
generierten Impulse zu spezifischen Schaltstationen im Thalamus und
in der Kortex erklaren. Die Beschreibung der kortikalen Antwort auf
einen optischen oder akustischen Reiz ist lediglich die
Beschreibung der physiologischen Perzeption. Der entscheidende
Vorgang, namlich die Integration der verschiedenen Daten zur
bewussten Wahrnehmung, ist in seinen Einzelheiten noch nicht
uberschaubar und bestenfalls Hypothese. Die elektronenoptische
Morphologie wie auch die modemen mikroelektro- physiologischen
Techniken haben einen wichtigen Beitrag geleistet; der Schlussel
zum Verstandnis durfte aber in Prozessen der molekularen Biologie
zu suchen sein, einem der interessantesten Grenzgebiete der modemen
Wissenschaft bei der Erforschung der Funktion des menschlichen
Geistes. Fur den Kliniker ist die Stoerung des Phanomens
Bewusstsein bei den verschiedenen Krankheiten ein faszinierender
Aspekt. Ist es ein bestimmter Metabolit oder eine vulnerable
anatomische Struktur, die bei allen Krankheiten fur die
Bewusstseinsstoerung verantwortlich ist. Das ist wohl kaum
anzunehmen. Bei Schadel-Him-Traumen z. B. koennen wichtige,
anatomisch fassbare Strukturen des Bewusstseins - die Formatio
reticularis - direkt oder indirekt uber einen erhoehten
intrakraniellen Druck betroffen sein. Daneben ist eine funktionelle
Stoerung durch ein Himoedem denkbar. Bei einer zerebralen Ischamie,
etwa durch einen Herzstillstand, steht die Stoerung des Substrat-
angebotes an die Nervenzelle im Vordergrund.

Brain edema is found in a wide variety of clinical disorders
including stroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, subarachnoid
haemorrhage, head injury, brain tumors and hydrocephalus. This
volume brings together clinical and basic scientists from all over
the world. Their expertise in the understanding of brain edema and
shifts in brain water compartments has led to a further significant
step in our understanding of those diseases characterized by brain
edema. This book has also drawn on the expertise of the
International Advisory Board of the Brain Edema Society, who have
carefully summarized each section, thus providing an easy-to-read
summary of the latest advances in each subject. The book is
therefore much more than a collection of papers: it represents a
critical appraisal and puts each paper into modern scientific
context. The greatest advances have come from the rapid development
of modern imaging techniques, especially with magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Imaging can now produce "water maps" and "metabolic
profiles" that bring brain metabolism and water content right into
every clinic with access to MRI. This book provides the background
knowledge to understand these pathophysiological changes.
