This book provides an in-depth review of the current state of
knowledge on the intracranial chronic subdural hematoma, with an
emphasis on the etiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, anatomic
pathology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, imaging findings,
and treatment modalities, both medical and surgical. Sections on
the postoperative complications, prognosis, and medicolegal aspects
of this illness are also included. Lastly, the book considers
future areas of investigation and innovative therapeutic
philosophies. This richly illustrated book will help the reader
choose the most appropriate way to manage this challenging
neurosurgical disease process. It is an ideal resource for
neuroscientists at all levels, from graduate students to research
scientists, including neurosurgeons, neurologists,
neuroradiologists, and pediatricians, and for those seeking both
basic and more advanced information regarding the craniospinal
subdural hematoma, including acute, subacute and chronic ones.
This Atlas is the first reference Atlas covering exclusively all
aspects of this multifaceted topic. It is designed to serve as a
succinct appropriate resource for neurosurgeons, spinal surgeons,
radiologists, neurologists, microbiologists, researchers and
infectious disease specialists with an interest in cranio-cerebral
and vertebro-medullary infections especially encountered in
neurosurgery and spinal surgery. This Atlas is designed to deliver
more information in less space than traditional texts, allowing for
quick review of the essential facts of this complex infectious
topic through pictures. Pertinent imaging and laboratory
information are combined with intraoperative photographs and
illustrations to help readers visualize variable presentations and
enhance their perioperative management. The comprehensive content
of this richly-illustrated book covers different infectious
diseases seen on neurosurgical and spinal practices. The Atlas is
divided into five sections, after a general introduction, the
second section focuses on infections of the brain and its
coverings. The third section focuses on vertebromedullary
infections. The fourth section includes infections following
cranial and spinal surgery, and the fifth section provides a
description of the most important specific pathogens and other
particular conditions. The format makes it easily accessible and
includes a definition of each infection and its epidemiology, main
clinical presentations, imaging features and laboratory findings,
treatment options, and prognosis information. It will help the
reader in choosing the most appropriate way to manage this
multipart problem. In addition, the book supplies clinicians and
investigators with both basic and more sophisticated information
and procedures relating to the complications associated with
neurosurgical and spinal infections.
This book is the first reference book covering exclusively all
aspects of this challenging disease. It is designed to serve as a
succinct appropriate resource for neurosurgeons,
otorhinolaryngologists, neuroradiologists, researchers and
infectious disease specialists with an interest in cranial
infection. Cranial Osteomyelitis provides an in-depth review of
knowledge of the management of skull osteomyelitis, with an
emphasis on risk factors, causative pathogens, pathophysiology of
dissemination, clinical presentations, neuroradiological findings
and treatment modalities, medical and surgical. Sections on the
prognosis and prevention of this illness are also included. The
book will help the reader in choosing the most appropriate way to
manage this challenging bone infection. In addition, it supplies
clinicians and investigators with both basic and more sophisticated
information and procedures relating to the complications associated
with skull osteomyelitis. It also considers future areas of
investigation and innovative therapeutic philosophies. The book is
richly illustrated to provide readers with unparalleled access to a
comprehensive collection of cranial osteomyelitis images
(biological, clinical, neuroradiological, and surgical) taken
directly from the author's collection and experience in the field.
