International experts offer their advice on real, complex cases. There are 23 chapters, each beginning with a case and participants, and ending with a section called moderator, which discusses the pros and cons of each particular case. Various types of surgical approaches to meningiomas are highlighted, inter alia, endoscopic versus microscopic, partial removal with radiosurgery versus total removal with repair, subtotal resection and radiosurgery. Treatment of schwannomas, pituitary disease, gliomas, aneurysms, are covered, as well as the use of neurostimulation for pain, and the Gamma knife. There are many tables and black-and-white and color figures, and references. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
