Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery. Volume 42
Presents important advances and reviews technical standards for difficult procedures in neurosurgeryCovers important aspects of the management of pineal lesions, optic pathway gliomas and cavernous sinus meningiomasDiscusses surgical treatment of cluster headache, occipital nerve stimulation and the arguments for vascular decompression for hypertensionThis volume of Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery covers some important new developments in functional neurosurgery and endovascular therapy. In the Technical Standards section a variety of topics are considered, including optic pathway gliomas, pineal lesions, cavernous sinus meningiomas, and the eternal problem of minor and repetitive head injury. Endovascular treatment of a variety of lesions is now common practice, and the state of the art in endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke is reviewed. An appraisal of the evidence on whether there is a place for microsurgical vascular decompression for essential hypertension raises interesting questions. The volume is completed by contributions on neurosurgical treatment of cluster headaches and occipital nerve stimulation.Table of ContentsNeurosurgical Treatment of Cluster HeadacheOccipital Nerve StimulationState-of-the-Art Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic StrokeIs There a Place for Microsurgical Vascular Decompression of Brainstem for Apparent Essential Blood Hypertension?
