Opis

Part of the Oxford Case Histories series, this volume includes 65 neurosurgical cases covering all core topics specified in the UK Neurosurgical Training Curriculum. Cases are drawn from the following clinical areas: trauma, vascular neurosurgery, tumours, spinal neurosurgery, hydrocephalus and paediatric neurosurgery, functional neurosurgery, and medical problems in neurosurgery. Revolving around actual patients and the relevant knowledge required in specific situations for decision making in clinical practice (for example, when to operate on a case, when not to operate, balancing risks, which investigations to carry out and in what order), this book will serve as an invaluable educational tool to help trainees, doctors and practising neurosurgeons manage the a wide variety of clinical scenarios encountered in neurosurgery.

Recenzje

This book provides a great method for learning and preparing for neurosurgery examinations. The cases cover all relevant topics in neurosurgery, and the questions following the cases go to the core of the subject, highlighting the important points for students. The discussion section in particular is very informative, going over the differential diagnosis and citing the scientific basis for the answers. The strengths of the book are the simple and concise explanations and the discussions of related topics. This is useful not only for examinees, but also for practicing neurosurgeons.
