Neurosurgical Emergencies

Our ability to accurately recognise and effectively manage a wide variety of neurosurgical conditions has improved radically in recent years due to signficant developments in diagnostic technology and surgical technique. Thus we are now better able to define those conditions which constitute a neurosurgical emergency. In this new two-volume work, pioneering experts detail the diagnosis and treatment of over forty cerebral and spinal conditions which fall within the modern-day definition of the neurosurgical emergency. Each fully illustrated chapter focuses on an individual emergency for ease and speed of reference.
