Description

By Mark S. Greenberg, Nitin Agarwal

The most comprehensive, practical, compact, and current neurosurgical reference

Since its inception in 1990, Greenberg's Handbook of Neurosurgery, by Mark Greenberg and new associate editor Nitin Agarwal, has been widely acclaimed and referenced by thousands of neurosurgical residents and practitioners. Now in its 11th edition, numerous new topics have been added, others have been updated, and many existing sections reflect the latest national clinical guidelines. To enhance clarity, the number of illustrations has been increased, while the more than 6,000 references have been transferred to the digital version to retain portability. The digital interface also enables enlarging text and diagrams for greater understanding.

The generously illustrated text features 24 sections and 118 chapters organized systematically, starting with anatomy and physiology and concluding with endovascular intervention. Updates in this edition include Moyamoya disease, Cushing disease/syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, chronic hydrocephalus in adults, seizure surgery, intraoperative pathology consultations, high-riding vertebral artery in C2, and intraoperative dyes.
