Cerebrospinal Fluid and Subarachnoid Space: volume 2: pathology and disorders

Cerebrospinal Fluid and Subarachnoid Space: volume 2 Description

The first book on the complete clinical anatomy of the cerebrospinal fluid for neurosurgeons, neurologists, and neuroscientists is titled Cerebrospinal Fluid and Arachnoid Space Volume 2: Pathology and Disorders. Almost all areas of medicine require knowledge of the subarachnoid space and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

The book covers a broad range of CSF-related topics, with an emphasis on subjects important to researchers, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroradiologists. Neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, CSF in various illness states, and other subjects are covered. Readers can better grasp the anatomy and issues associated with CSF thanks to a variety of recent and fixed cadaveric photos.
