Microneuroanatomy and Surgery: A Practical Anatomical Guide

Microneuroanatomy is essential to understanding the brain. In many  cases, passing on neuroanatomical knowledge is a difficult task to  accomplish, yet this is chiefly due to those who are tasked with  conveying this knowledge in classes and lectures, or in books.

In  reality, neuroanatomy is simple and needs to be understood as a tool  for approaching the different areas of the brain, not as an obstacle,  and the only way to overcome this problem is to correlate neuroanatomy  with various types of disease (arteriovenous malformations, aneurysms,  tumors, cavernomas, hydrocephalus, etc.)

This book provides a  novel approach to the relation between microneuroanatomy and brain  diseases. Each chapter addresses a specific neuroanatomical region, and  correlates all the key neuroanatomical aspects with diseases that affect  it; further, each chapter provides detailed insights into safely  performing brain surgery in the respective region.
