- The current literature lacks a practical guide to intraoperative endoscopic anatomy of the third ventricle
- Features a wealth of intraoperative images and CT / MRI images, complemented by schematic drawings
- Content prepared in easy-to-follow, intelligible language, intended for a broad audience, from graduate students to experienced neurosurgeons
This book describes in practical terms the endoscopic neurosurgery of the third ventricle and surrounding structures, emphasizing aspects of intraoperative endoscopic anatomy and ventricular approaches for main diseases, complemented by CT / MRI images. It is divided in two parts: Part I describes the evolution of the description of the ventricular system and traditional ventricular anatomy, besides the endoscopic neurosurgery evolution and current concepts, with images and schematic drawings, while Part II presents a collection of intraoperative images of endoscopic procedures, focusing in anatomy and main pathologies, complemented by schemes of the surgical approaches and CT / MRI images. The Atlas of Endoscopic Neurosurgery of the Third Ventricle offers a revealing guide to the subject, addressing the needs of medical students, neuroscientists, neurologists and especially neurosurgeons. Table of ContentsPart I.- Chapter 1 - The ventricular system
- Chapter 2 General principles of the endoscopic neurosurgery
Part II - Chapter 3 Entering in the third ventricle –The lateral ventricle
- Chapter 4 Inside the third ventricle
- Chapter 5 Beyond the third ventricle – Inside interpeduncular and prepontine cisterns
- Chapter 6 Beyond the third ventricle–Suprasellar arachnoid cyst
