As an addition to the European postgraduate training system for
young neurosurgeons we began to publish in 1974 this series devoted
to Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery which was later
sponsored by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies.
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 publication 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. In the second part of each volume, we
publish detailed descriptions of standard operative procedures,
furnished by experienced clinicians; in these articles the authors
describe the techniques they employ and explain the advantages,
difficulties and risks involved in the various procedures. This
part is intended primarily to assist young neurosurgeons in their
post graduate training. However, we are convinced that it will also
be useful to experienced, fully trained neurosurgeons."

There are two important reasons for publishing this new series
entitled "Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery" 1. the
lack of any or ganized common European postgraduate training system
for young neurosurgeons and 2. the language barriers, which impede
the exchange of neurosurgical findings in Europe more than in other
parts of the world. The fact that the English language is well on

The human personality is inextricably bound up with, among other
things, the function of the central nervous system. Diseases and
malfunctions of the brain, head injuries and neurosurgical
operations can all result in permanently altered behaviour
patterns. This interrelation between brain and behaviour is most
clearly demonstrated in cases involving functional neurosurgery and
severe traumatic lesions. Despite the fact that this interrelation
represents an everyday challenge to the neurosurgeon, it is a
question which receives less attention than it deserves in
neurosurgical meetings. Given the scope and complexity of this
topic, it is not possible to cover every aspect of it here: hence,
discussion is limited to the impact on personality of injuries,
language, epilepsy and psychosurgery. However, before considering
the medical aspects, it was deemed necessary to try and arrive at a
definition of "personality." This question was discussed by a
number of philosophers representing various perspectives. Their
diversity of viewpoints and conceptions greatly enriched the
discussions.
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

This series was fust 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 KrayenbUhl. 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

This series of yearly books on Advances in Neurotraumatology is
being published under the auspices of the Scientific Committee of
Neuro traumatology of the World Federation of Neurological
Surgeons. For some years neurotraumatology was perhaps too much
looked upon as a secondary part of neurosurgery. But the constant
increase of cases has provoked a renewal of interest all over the
world, involving not only neurosurgeons but also any surgeon who
has to take care of such patients. Each volume, in order to cover
the whole of neurosurgery, will be concerned with a special topic,
the various chapters of which being envisaged in detail, and
followed by a practical "How to do it." Every volume will also
contain chapters outside the envisaged topic regarding some
up-to-date problems. The authors, chosen from various countries for
their special competence, will try to offer an efficient
contribution to the knowledge of neuro traumatology, and also to
present a bedside series of handy books helping those who tend
these cases. The first volume will deal with "Extracerebral
Collections," the second "Dorsal and Lumbar Spine and Spinal Cord
Injuries," the third "Cerebral Contusions, Lacerations and
Hematomas," and the next ones will continue to successively
approach all the other neurotraumatological topics."

Paris, July 15-20, 1979
As a result of its structure, the skull base forms a borderline
between different medi cal and surgical specialties. Nevertheless,
the pathology of the skull may involve crossing these boundaries.
Consequently, treatment may require a multidisciplinary approach
with close cooperation between different specialists, each with his
specific knowledge and capabilities. A good example is the
cooperation needed in the treat ment of skull base trauma. The
Skull Base Study Group was founded some years ago in view of this
situa tion. Its purpose is to organize international conferences on
topics related to skull base pathology. The first was held in June
1982 and focused on the area of trauma tology. The present volume
contains articles written by the highly qualified con tributors to
the June 1982 conference, dealing with the anatomical, biomechan
ical, and neuroradiological aspects of skull base fractures and
their consequences in neurologic and vascular dysfunction and
deficits. Many authors from Europe and abroad have contributed to
the high standard of this book. I would like to congratulate the
Editors on the publication of this volume. It contains many
important and interesting aspects of particular value to all
medical and surgical specialists working in or on one of either
sides of the skull base."
The Committee of Neurotraumatology of the World Federation of
Neurosurgical Societies decided to elaborate a Glossary of Neuro-
traumatology, and for this purpose appointed a subgroup of members
of this Committee, headed by Dr. E. S. Gurdjian, whose report
follows this preface. The main reason for the Committee's decision
was the hope that the diffusion of the Glossary through "Acta
Neurochirurgica" may bring about a better understanding of
neurotraumatological terminology on a worldwide scale. The Glossary
should facilitate the classification and the comparison of
traumatic lesions of the Nervous System. It will consequently be
easier to compile statistics and correctly interpret the
informations thus obtained. The very commendable initiative of the
Congress of Neurological Surgeons in revising the terminology of
head injuries and in publishing this work in Vol. 12 (1966) of
"Clinical Neurosurgery" constitutes an important contribution. In
1977 the Glossary now presented endeav- ours to complete and bring
up to date the definitions of anatomical or physiological
modifications in the neurotraumatological field. We wish to express
our thanks to Dr. Gurdjian and to the other members of the
Neurotraumatological Committee who were responsible for the
elaboration of this Glossary and whose efforts to standardise, as
much as possible, the language used by scientists of different
nationalities, have resulted in a better understanding between
neurosurgeons.
