Vasculature of the Brain and Cranial Base

Four master neurosurgeons bring a wealth of collective neurosurgical and neuroendovascular experience to this remarkable reference book, which melds a detailed anatomical atlas with clinical applications. The authors provide case reviews and pearls that demonstrate how anatomy impacts clinical practice decisions for aneurysm, stroke, and skull-base disease.

Highlights:

• Comprehensive variations of the vasculature at the Circle of Willis, cortical branches, and secondary arteries
• Range and average measurements of the most critical vessels
• Hundreds of color photographs elucidate precise anatomical cadaver dissections

• Exquisite illustrations by Paul H. Dressel
  This richly illustrated, comprehensive anatomical resource is a must have for neurosurgeons, neuro-radiologists, and neurologists. Whether you are a practicing clinician or resident, reading this book will greatly expand your "vision" and sharpen your perception.
