Part of the Neurosurgery by Example series, this volume on
neurotrauma presents exemplary cases in which renowned authors
guide readers through the assessment and planning, decision making,
surgical procedure, after care, and complication management of
common and uncommon disorders. The cases explore the spectrum of
clinical diversity and complexity within neurotrauma, including
hematoma, injury to the sinuses, concussion, orbital trauma,
penetrating brain injuries, and more. Each chapter also contains
'pivot points' that illuminate changes required to manage patients
in alternate or atypical situations, and pearls for accurate
diagnosis, successful treatment, and effective complication
management. Containing a focused review of medical evidence and
expected outcomes, Neurotrauma is appropriate for neurosurgeons who
wish to learn more about a subspecialty, and those preparing for
the American Board of Neurological Surgery oral examination.
