worthwhile. It is a must-have in all neurosurgery, neurology, and radiology
libraries. -- Doody's Review

meningioma diagnosis, treatment, and surgery, and reflects over a decade of
major advances in the diagnosis and management of both intracranial and spinal
meningiomas since the first edition was published.

  biology, natural history and growth rates, the rise of radiosurgery as a
  viable treatment option, and much more

• Over 500 high-quality radiographic images and
  full-color illustrations demonstrate anatomy and surgery

• In-depth coverage of intraoperative MRI and
  endoscopic resection
