Arteriovenous and Cavernous Malformations (Volume 143) (Handbook of Clinical Neurology, Volume 143) - Tapa dura

"...this Handbook is a valuable shelf reference. It should be viewed as a companion to imaging and surgical texts as, while well referenced, the support of descriptions by high-quality images varies between chapters. The editors have produced a worthy edition to the Handbook series that will serve as foundational knowledge to aid in the treatment of complex cerebrovascular malformations." --World Neruosurgery

 "Neurosurgeons, neurologists, and practitioners of neurointerventional procedures will find this a useful and up-to-date reference on the topic of cranial and spinal vascular malformations. Each chapter is a focused review of topics related to the epidemiology, genetics, presentation, and medical/procedural management of these lesions in both the brain and spinal canal. The succinct and directed approach of each chapter is a testament to the direction provided by the editors to all who contributed to this text... The editors have produced a worthy edition... that will serve as foundational knowledge to aid in the treatment of complex cerebrovascular malformations." --Babu G. Welch, M.D. WORLD NEUROSURGERY
