Cerebral vasculature

Core procedures Open approaches to the anterior circulation Open approaches to the posterior circulation Endovascular approaches to the anterior and posterior circulation Many vascular lesions (such as aneurysms) are approached via an endovascular route. Open surgery is more frequently performed…

Neurosurgical anatomy

This chapter contains an overview of the surgical anatomy of the brain that will be amplified in later chapters. The use of cisternal anatomy to guide microsurgical procedures in the supratentorial and infratentorial compartments is emphasized. The pterional, transcallosal and…
