The concept of this book is to merge neurological and neurosurgical principles and practice, for improved patient care.

"Following an overview of neurodegenerative, traumatic, and ischemic disorders, the book goes on to cover in vitro and animal model systems as well as cellular and molecular mechanisms."

This is a clear, incisive introduction to neurosurgery. It is designed for the medical student learning about neurosurgery, the neurological or surgical resident who is rotating on neurosurgery, the practicing neurologist, internist or general surgeon who wants a succinct introduction to neurosurgery, and the neurosurgical trainee in his or her early years.

This book is designed to carry the techniques, the knowledge and the experience of the surgically difficult and complex cases in the surgery of cerebrovascular diseases and brain tumors. The book includes two parts: Part 1 - "Cerebrovascular diseases"; Part 2 - "Brain tumors". Each chapter is composed of 50 case reports written by world well-known neurosurgeons.
