Greenberg's Handbook of Neurosurgery

The fundamental, one-stop global resource for neurosurgical practice in updated 10 th edition

Unlike traditional medical textbooks, the origins of the now legendary Handbook of Neurosurgery by Mark Greenberg took root in the late 1980's in the notes the author kept while taking care of his patients, from his weekly grand rounds presentations, and in the literature he read. Now in its 10 th edition, the book that is often referred to as the bible for neurosurgeons has grown organically over the years to include more topics of importance to those who provide healthcare to patients with neurologic ailments, and to reflect advances in the understanding and management of the underlying conditions and diseases.

Throughout 23 sections and 116 chapters, the generously illustrated text covers information ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics. The comprehensive, conveniently compact book provides detailed, high-value, and actionable information that can be quickly accessed to enhance patient management, thereby eliminating the need to wade through superfluous material. It is also a perfect study companion for board examination and preparation for the maintenance of certification.

Key Features

• Updated classification and diagnostic criteria of central and peripheral nervous system tumors, based on the most recent WHO classifications
• Reworking of numerous sections, including current concepts in pseudotumor cerebri, seizure classification, and more
• Addition of new chapters, including idiopathic scoliosis, LOVA, and tuberculosis of the CNS
• Current principles of nonsurgical and surgical management, including risk factors, indications, diagnostics, prognoses, contraindications, and differential diagnoses
• Nearly 500 figures, including new summary flow charts, illustrations, and simplified diagrams for early learners, enhance understanding of material discussed in the text
